JavaScript and Objects

What’s an object?

Think about objects in the non-programming sense, just like tangible things we see around us. Take an example of a pen. A pen can have different ink colors, be manufactured by different people, have a different tip, and have many other properties.

Similarly, an object in programming is an entity that has properties. Each property defines a characteristic of the object. A property can be a piece of information associated with the object (the color of the pen) or an action (the pen’s ability to write).
