Introduction and Topic Overview

Welcome to the universe of JavaScript! Today's topic is JavaScript Objects, a pivotal concept in JavaScript and programming! Objects efficiently group related data and functions.

In terms analogous to the real world, consider JavaScript Objects as school report cards that consolidate your subject scores (data) and remarks (characteristics) in one place. The objective of our lesson is to help you master JavaScript Objects to manage related data and functions effectively. Let's begin!

An Object in JavaScript, mirroring real-world entities, includes two principal components: properties and methods. Imagine there's a car, it displays certain characteristics, dubbed as properties (like color, make, and model), and some actions, labeled as methods (like start, stop). Essentially, JavaScript Objects package related data (properties) and functions (methods).

JavaScript Object Syntax

Let's define a JavaScript Object employing object literal syntax. Using our car example, let's frame a JavaScript Object:

The object car contains three properties: color, make, and model, defined using the 'key': 'value' syntax, separated by commas (,), enclosed within curly braces ({}).
