Advantages of setting the “constructor” Property in the “prototype”

by

It’s just to properly reset the constructor property to accurately reflect the function used to construct the object.

Sub.prototype = new Super();

console.log(new Sub().constructor == Sub);
// -> 'false' 

Sub.prototype.constructor = Sub;
console.log(new Sub().constructor == Sub);
// -> 'true'
