OOP in JavaScript, what class do JavaScript objects belong to?

From my basic understanding of Object Oriented Programming, a Class is a blueprint of an Object. For example, one might say apple, oranges etc is Object of Class Fruit.

I'm not understanding the structure , please forgive the basic-ness of this question.

When I look at the JavaScript Objects, for example a Date Object, or a Time Object..

What class for example does the Date Object belong to?

JavaScript does not use classical class-based inheritance, but prototyped inheritance. A Date object "inherits" from Date.prototype, which is the closest thing to the object you are looking for.

In Javascript, there is no concept of class as in case of other programming languages.

But, we can implement OOP in Javascript through prototypes.

Prototypes are a way through which we can define methods and properties in a function, which then can be inherited by objects created using the new keyword.

For better understanding, I will suggest to go through the below link. http://javascriptissexy.com/javascript-prototype-in-plain-detailed-language/
