Introduction to Objects
Objects are fundamental in JavaScript for representing complex, structured data. Unlike primitives such as string or number, objects allow you to group related information together under a single variable. This makes them ideal for modeling real-world entities, such as user profiles or products in an online store. For example:
- A user profile might include a user's
name,age, andemail, all stored as properties within one object; - A product could have a
title,price, andavailabilitystatus, making it easy to manage and access related data as a single unit.
12345678910111213// Creating an object to represent a user profile const user = { name: "Alex", age: 30, email: "alex@example.com" }; // Accessing properties console.log(user.name); // Output: Alex // Modifying a property user.age = 31; console.log(user.age); // Output: 31
You can access object properties using dot notation, such as user.name, or bracket notation, like user["email"]. To update a property, assign a new value to it, for example: user.age = 31. Objects are flexible, allowing you to add, remove, or change properties as needed, which is especially useful for modeling entities whose characteristics might change over time.

Can you explain the difference between dot notation and bracket notation for accessing object properties?
How do I add or remove properties from an object in JavaScript?
Can you give more examples of objects representing different real-world entities?
Awesome!
