Can somebody explain this to me

The code at the end works but I have a question.
When I have this code construction with prototype I can call the getFoo in 
this way  var poo = f.getFoo(); // "bar"
 P.prototype.getFoo = function ()
       {
           return this.foo;
       };


I mean if I add this piece of code into the class definition I can call the 
getFoo in this way  var poo = f.getFoo(); // "bar"

this.getFoo = function ()
           {
               return this.foo;
           };

So as a summary can somebody explain what is the advantage to use a 
prototype in this exemple?


Here is the complete code
********************
<script type="text/javascript">

       function P(foo) //Here is the class definition
       {
           this.foo = foo;
           // implicit return av "this" i den fall då P anropas som 
konstruktor

       }

       P.prototype.getFoo = function ()
       {
           return this.foo;
       };

       var f = new P("bar");
       var g = new P("baz");

       var poo = f.getFoo(); // "bar"
       g.getFoo(); // "baz"
   </script>
