}
var cola=new Item("cola", 2, "drinks")
var tea=new Item("tea", 4, "drinks")
var myCash = new CashRegister();
myCash.addItem(cola);
myCash.addItem(tea);
// because myCash.items is an array do this ..,
for (var i = 0; i < myCash.items.length; i++) {
    document.writeln(myCash.items[i].name);
}
</script>

If you can make it like this, I'm wondering why both in school and a site like codecademy learn the use of prototype. Or is there a difference between prototype and your approach?
