Objects

Definition:

Object-oriented programming allows you to use objects that can be accessed by other programs, including Web pages. An object is a set of related methods and properties that are compartmentalized. Objects contain collections of methods and properties. 

A method contains one or more programming statements. Methods are also known as functions. Functions are a group of programming commands. While you can define a method within a Web page, if a method is defined within an object, the code can be reused in many Web pages. 

Properties are characteristics of the object that are assigned a name and value. You can use objects to store methods and properties that can be reused across applications.
