Objects In JavaScript

 In JavaScript, objects are fundamental data structures used to store collections of related data and functionality. They are composed of key-value pairs, where the key is a string (or Symbol) that acts as an identifier for the value associated with it. Objects in JavaScript are versatile and can represent complex data structures, including arrays, functions, and even other objects. Here's an overview of objects in JavaScript along with examples:

Creating Objects:

1. Object Literal:

2. // Object Literal const person = { name: 'John', age: 30, greet: function() { console.log('Hello!'); } };

3. Using the new Keyword:
4. // Using the new keyword const car = new Object(); car.make = 'Toyota'; car.model = 'Camry';

5. Accessing Object Properties:

6. console.log(person.name); // Output: John

   console.log(car['make']); // Output: Toyota

Adding and Modifying Properties:

person.email = 'john@example.com'; // Adding a new property

person.age = 31; // Modifying an existing property

Deleting Properties:

delete person.age;

Object Methods:

Objects can contain functions, known as methods, which can be invoked using dot notation or bracket notation.

person.greet(); // Output: Hello!

Object Constructors and Prototypes:

JavaScript also supports constructor functions and prototypes for creating objects with shared properties and methods.

function Person(name, age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } Person.prototype.greet = function() { console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}`); }; const john = new Person('John', 30); john.greet(); // Output: Hello, my name is John

Object Destructuring:

const { name, age } = person;

console.log(name); // Output: John

console.log(age); // Output: 30

Object Iteration:

for (let key in person) {

    console.log(`${key}: ${person[key]}`);

}

Object Methods:

Objects have built-in methods like Object.keys(), Object.values(), and Object.entries() for working with object properties.

console.log(Object.keys(person)); // Output: ["name", "greet"] console.log(Object.values(person)); // Output: ["John", 30, ƒ] console.log(Object.entries(person)); // Output: [["name", "John"], ["age", 30], ["greet", ƒ]]

Objects are a central part of JavaScript programming, allowing for the creation of complex and dynamic data structures. Understanding how to work with objects effectively is essential for writing efficient and maintainable JavaScript code.
