    I'm thinking that to walk the proto chain, there must be some kind of loop involved
    however i don't know when that loop should end
    should it end when proto is equal to the window object? 
    DOT = function(obj, prop) {

            if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                return obj[prop];
            } else {

                var parent = obj.__proto__;
                if(parent.hasOwnProperty(prop){
                    return parent[prop];  

                }
            }
        }

    That's what I have so far

    @imanuelgittens
    DOT = function(obj, prop) {

            if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                return obj[prop];
            } else {
                return DOT(obj.__proto__, prop);
            }

        };
    or maybe my second code snippet might work?
    thanks

    hey everyone! we’ll get started shortly
    to recap last week’s exercises: http://jsbin.com/yamuna/latest/watch?js,output
    we’ll tackle that first

    @imanuelgittens
    I was really close to solving last week's exercise.
    I forgot to check if the object existed

    Nice!

    @Zurc
    You said that you're setting proto but using prototype?
    yes
    John Hitz
    @johnhitz
    So proto is just the link or pointer to the prototype?
    sorry that's proto
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    @Zurc: Was your question answered?
    Zurc
    @Zurc
    I think I understood, still another question: Do we use proto in our code at all?
    thanx!

    @joe-crick
    NP!

    @johnhitz
    Can you show that in the terminal
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    Are you asking to have the exercise shown in the terminal?
    John Hitz
    @johnhitz
    Not using a different this for each dog1, dog2, and pup
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    @johnhitz Do you mean how to fix the example?
    of the shared pup value?
    John Hitz
    @johnhitz
    Yes
    Imanuel Gittens
    @imanuelgittens
    Maybe you could just once over the slide with dog1, dog2, and pup?
    Thank you
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    Sure thing!
    John Hitz
    @johnhitz
    sorry can you make it bigger
    Madelene Campos
    @Madelene
    (yes, please…bigger) :)
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    Is this size good?
    John Hitz
    @johnhitz
    Great!!!

    because of the “new” keyword?
    (just clarifying)
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    Are you asking if it's easier to understand Object.create because of the "new" keyword?
    Madelene Campos
    @Madelene
    the proto pointing back because of the “new” keyword (sorry..had the beach ball of death for a bit)
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    @Madelene does this answer your question?
    Madelene Campos
    @Madelene
    (it was back 1 slide)
    got it
    perfect
    Joe Crick
    @joe-crick
    OK. Good!

    thanks :)
