Objects

Objects are a collection of key, value pairs {key1: value1, key2: value2} with datatype as Object.
There are multiple ways an object can be created and are listed below:

Object Literal: Creates a new object using properties specified

var objUsingLiteral1 = { name: "name1" };

new Object(): Creates a new object using properties specified

var objUsingNewObject1 = new Object({ name: "name1" });

Object.assign: Creates a new object from an existing source object by copying all the properties of source object to destination object. In case of conflicting/same property names, the values of source properties override the values in destination

// Object.assign(target, source); 
var objUsingAssign1 = Object.assign({ college: "Chirkara" }, obj2); 

Object.create: Creates a new object using an existing object not by copying the properties but with existing object as prototype.

// Here objUsingLiteral1 acts as a prototype of objUsingCreate1
var objUsingLiteral1 = { name: "name1" } 
var objUsingCreate1 = Object.create(obj4);
console.log(objUsingCreate1.__proto__) // Output: {name: 'name1'}
