    Study Notes

    Objects in JavaScript

    • Objects represent real-world entities such as people, cars, and buildings, as well as browser components like windows and buttons.
    • Objects in JavaScript are collections of properties and methods.

    Properties and Methods

    • Properties define attributes of an object, e.g., a car has wheels, a browser has a name and version.
    • Methods are actions that an object can perform, e.g., a car can accelerate or brake, while the window object can create alerts.

    Object System Characteristics

    • JavaScript objects have a simple and flexible structure allowing the addition of new properties and methods at any time.
    • Objects are unordered collections of values.

    JavaScript Objects Categories

    • String Object: Represents a sequence of characters, supporting Unicode for various languages.
    • Math Object: Contains methods for mathematical calculations.
    • Boolean & Number Objects: Provide methods for manipulating boolean values and numbers.
    • Document Object: Represents the HTML document loaded in the browser.
    • Window Object: Represents the browser window itself and contains methods for browser functionality.

    String Object

    • A string, treated as a single unit, can include letters, digits, and special characters.
    • String literals can be defined using single or double quotes.

    String Methods

    • Comparison: Strings can be compared using relational (=) and equality operators (==, !=), based on Unicode values.
    • Accessing Characters:
      • charAt(index): Returns character at a specified index.
      • charCodeAt(index): Returns Unicode value of character at a specified index.
    • Combining Strings:
      • concat(string): Combines strings.
    • Replacing String Values:
      • replace(searchString, replaceString): Replaces occurrences of a substring within a string.
    • Obtaining Substrings:
      • slice(start, end), substr(start, length), substring(start, end).
    • Searching for Substrings:
      • indexOf(substring, index): Finds the first occurrence.
      • lastIndexOf(substring, index): Finds the last occurrence, searching backwards.
    • Case Conversion:
      • toLowerCase(): Converts to lowercase.
      • toUpperCase(): Converts to uppercase.

    Date Object

    • The Date object manages date and time operations based on local time zones or UTC.
    • Created using var current = new Date();.
    • Methods for retrieving date components:
      • getDate(), getDay(), getMonth(), getFullYear(), etc.
    • Can specify date parameters while creating a Date object, e.g., new Date(2007, 2, 18, 1, 5, 0);.

    Math Object

    • Contains methods for various mathematical operations, such as calculating square roots and trigonometric functions.
    • Defines many commonly used mathematical constants.

    Boolean and Number Objects

    • Boolean Object: Wraps boolean true/false values. Created with var b = new Boolean(booleanValue);.
    • Number Object: Wraps numeric values, created using var n = new Number(numericValue);.
    • Both objects provide additional methods and properties for manipulation, although JavaScript often uses primitive values directly without needing to create these objects.
