Javascript: Inherit method from base class and return the subclass's private variable
- by marisbest2
I have the following BaseClass defined:
function BaseClass (arg1,arg2,arg3) {
//constructor code here then -
var privateVar = 7500;
this.getPrivateVar = function() { return privateVar; };
}
I want to have the following subclass which allows changing privateVar like so:
function SubClass (arg1,arg2,arg3,privateVar) {
//constructor code here then -
var privateVar = privateVar;
}
SubClass.prototype = new BaseClass();
Now I want SubClass to inherit the getPrivateVar method. However, when I try this, it always returns 7500 which is the value in the BaseClass and not the value of privateVar.
In other words, is it possible to inherit a BaseClass's public methods but have any references in them refer to the SubClass's properties? And how would I do that?
