What ever are we doing?

A brief encounter:

var Flock = function(n) {
  this.seagulls = n;
};

Flock.prototype.conjoin = function(other) {
  this.seagulls += other.seagulls;
  return this;
};

Flock.prototype.breed = function(other) {
  this.seagulls = this.seagulls * other.seagulls;
  return this;
};

var flock_a = new Flock(4);
var flock_b = new Flock(2);
var flock_c = new Flock(0);

var result = flock_a.conjoin(flock_c)
    .breed(flock_b).conjoin(flock_a.breed(flock_b)).seagulls;
//=> 32
console.log(flock_a);
console.log(flock_b);
console.log(flock_c);
console.log(result);

If you don't understand this program, it's okay, neither do I.

var conjoin = function(flock_x, flock_y) { return flock_x + flock_y; };
var breed = function(flock_x, flock_y) { return flock_x * flock_y; };

var flock_a = 4;
var flock_b = 2;
var flock_c = 0;

var result = conjoin(
  breed(flock_b, conjoin(flock_a, flock_c)), breed(flock_a, flock_b)
);
console.log(result);
