Chapter 4. Objects

Now that you've mastered JavaScript's primitive data types, arrays, and functions, it's time to stay true to the promise of the book title and talk about objects.

JavaScript has an eccentric take on the classical Object-oriented programming. Object-oriented programming is one of the most popular programming paradigms and has been a mainstay in most of programming languages like Java and C++. There are well defined ideas proposed by classical OOP that most of these languages adopt. JavaScript, however, has a different take on it. We will look JavaScript's way of supporting OOP.

In this chapter, you will learn the following topics:

How to create and use objects
What are the constructor functions
What types of built-in JavaScript objects exist and what they can do for you
