JavaScript class
Example
Create a Car class, and then an object (myCar) based on the Car class:
// Create a Car class
class Car {
constructor(brand) {
this.carname = brand;
}
}
// Create a Car Object
myCar = new Car("Ford");
Description
A class is a type of object template.
The class statement initiates a JavaScript class.
Properties and methods are assigned in the constructor() method.
The constructor() method is called each time a class object is initialized.

Notes
The syntax in a class must be written in "strict mode".
Unlike functions, class declarations are not hoisted (you must declare a class before you can use it).
Syntax
class className {
// class body
}
