var o = {
  a: 2,
  m: function() {
    return this.a + 1;
  }
};

console.log(o.m()); // 3
// When calling o.m in this case, 'this' refers to o

var p = Object.create(o);
// p is an object that inherits from o

p.a = 4; // creates a property 'a' on p
console.log(p.m()); // 5
// when p.m is called, 'this' refers to p.
// So when p inherits the function m of o, 
// 'this.a' means p.a, the property 'a' of p

que - what is prototype chaining

ans - Prototype chaining is a feature in JavaScript that allows objects to 
inherit properties and methods from other objects. 
It is a key aspect of the language's prototype-based inheritance model.
In JavaScript, every object has a prototype, which is another object 
from which it inherits properties and methods.This chain of prototypes 
forms what is known as the prototype chain.

example -
  
function Person(firstname, lastname) {
    this.firstname = firstname
    this.lastname = lastname
}
Person.prototype.getFullName = function () {
    return this.firstname + ' ' + this.lastname
}
let x = new Person('ash', 'gole')
console.log('firstname ', x.firstname)
console.log('getFullName', x.getFullName())
console.log('firstname ', x.hasOwnProperty('firstname'))
console.log('getFullName ', x.hasOwnProperty('getFullName'))

//object example
const info = {
    name: 'john smith',
    city: 'london',
    age: 30
}
let info2 = Object.create(info)
console.log('info2 ',info2.age )
