Objects are used to represent real world objects in programming
Within an object, variables are known as properties and functions are known as methods
Curly braces are a means of identifying if a variable is an object
// create an object that represents a dog
const myDog = {
name: "Fido",
age: 4,
speak: function() {
console.log('Woof woof')
}
}
Objects are organized in Key / Value pairs, in the example above: name is a key and "Fido" is the value, the pair together is referred to as the property
