what is prototype

 A prototype is an early sample, model or release of a product built to test a concept of process. It can be used in for variety of context, including semantics design electronics and software programming.

A Prototype can serve as a model or inspiration for those that come later. It can also mean an original model on which something is patterned, a standard or typical example, or a full-scale and usually functional form of a new type or design of a Constuction.
