少量对象是否具有原型属性？

Question

I'm going through the book JavaScript: The Definitive Guide 7th edition.

And in objects section I encountered a strange phrase that

Remember: almost all objects have a prototype, but only a relatively small number of objects have a prototype property. It is these objects with prototype properties that define the prototypes for all the other objects.

What I find confusing is that it says first, almost every object has a prototype and then says only a relatively small number of objects have a prototype property . I find these as two contradicting statements; how come almost every object has a prototype while everyone of them doesn't get to have prototype property.

Can you explain what above statement means?

Answer 1

May be this can enlight you: (the sentence is not well formulated, almost all objects have a prototype chain inheritance, but only a relatively small number of objects defines a prototype property )

 function Foo() { } Foo.prototype.bar = function () {// prototype property on Foo console.log('bar'); }; const foo = new Foo(); console.log(foo.__proto__);// object const baz = Object.create(null); console.log(baz.__proto__);// undefined
