This is great! Now, is it possible to control the access to variables in Greeting's prototype?
There is a way to do it. Creating an IIFE directly outside of Greeting's declaration that contains getter and setter functions to Greeting's prototype.
Example: Greeting.prototype.getName = function () {
However, is there a way of doing this but have all of this code in the body of Greeting instead?
