Anything that has a state and behavior can be termed an Object, be it physical or logical. An Object is an entity mentioned in the OOPs concept and is frequently found in JavaScript codes.
Creating an object in JavaScript is a direct phenomenon as JavaScript is a template-based language and is not based on classes.
Ways of Creating Objects in JavaScript
Using an object literal:
Syntax:
Object ={property1 : value1, property2 : value2..... propertyN : valueN}
Using an instance of Object
Syntax:
var objectname = new Object();
Accessing Object Properties
Syntax 1:
objectName.propertyName
Syntax 2:
objectName["propertyName"]
Accessing Object Methods
Syntax:
objectName.methodName()
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="example"></p>
<script>
var student = {
first_Name: "Rupali",
last_Name : "Sharma",
id : 789045
};
document.getElementById("example").innerHTML =
student.id + " " + student.first_Name + " " + student.last_Name;
</script>
</body>
</html>
