- The universal way to pass arguments that will work with practically any language. I’m going to call these “Standard Arguments” (they can also be called positional arguments).
- Passing arguments…

- Class-based
- Prototype-based
…And that was about as far as I got.
The lesson went on to explain the differences between the 2 types and the pro’s and con’s of each one, but the more I read the more and more lost I became. …
