Can someone explain prototype constructors?
Person.prototype = personPrototype;
Person.prototype.constructor = Person;

I don’t understand these 2 lines of this code.

I understand constructor functions need prototypes so that in this case, every person will have greet() or eat() etc. One master object to rule them all, that makes sense.

What I don’t get is why the prototype needs a constructor, isn’t that what Person() is?
