How can I create a function in Javascript that inherits properties and methods of another function?

Question

Say I have a function:

function parent() {
   var address = "house";
   var getAddress = function () {
       return address;
   }
}

How can I make another function that inherits these things?

Inherits what? Local variables? You said properties and methods in your question title but your function has neither of these. You should probably be asking a different question. — Ray Toal

FYI, this is scope nesting where a child function has access to its parent scope, not inheritance. It's not clear to me what you're asking to do. — jfriend00

You probably want to have a look at developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/…. You can't "inherit" local variables (whatever that is supposed to mean anyway). — Felix Kling

I would like it to inherit the local variables and function. — user3568783

how about below :

function otherFunc()
{
    addr = parent();
    //other stuff..
}

slight modification in your function to make it as per above usage:

function parent() {
   var address = "house";
   var getAddress = function () {
       return address;
   }
return address;
}
