Objects In JavaScript:

Object Literal:

The object literal syntax allows you to create an object directly by specifying its properties and values using curly braces.

javascript
const person = { name: "John", age: 25, occupation: "Software Developer", };

Real-life example: Creating a person object with properties like name, age, and occupation to represent a software developer.

Object Constructor:

JavaScript provides a built-in Object constructor function that can be used to create objects. You can create an object using the new keyword and the Object constructor.

javascript
const car = new Object();
car.make = "Toyota";
car.model = "Camry";
car.year = 2021;

Real-life example: Creating a car object by setting properties like make, model, and year to represent a Toyota Camry from 2021.

Factory Functions:

Factory functions are functions that return an object when invoked. You can define a function that creates and returns an object with the desired properties.

javascript
function createPerson(name, age, occupation) {
  return {
    name: name,
    age: age,
    occupation: occupation,
  };
}

const person = createPerson("Jane", 30, "Teacher");

Real-life example: Creating a person object by invoking the createPerson factory function and passing the person's name, age, and occupation to represent a teacher named Jane.

Constructor Functions (ES5):

Constructor functions are used to create objects with the new keyword. You define a function that serves as a blueprint for creating objects, and properties can be assigned using the this keyword.

javascript
function Person(name, age, occupation) {
  this.name = name;
  this.age = age;
  this.occupation = occupation;
}

const person = new Person("Alice", 35, "Doctor");

Real-life example: Creating a person object by using the Person constructor function and providing values for the person's name, age, and occupation to represent a doctor named Alice.

ES6 Classes:

ES6 introduced the class syntax, which provides a cleaner and more familiar way to define objects. Classes serve as blueprints for creating objects, and you can define properties and methods within the class.

javascript
class Book {
  constructor(title, author) {
    this.title = title;
    this.author = author;
  }

  display() {
    console.log(`${this.title} by ${this.author}`);
  }
}

const book = new Book("The Great Gatsby", "F. Scott Fitzgerald");
book.display();

Real-life example: Creating a book object using the Book class and providing the book's title and author. The display method can be used to show information about the book.
