J080 Simple Object Usage

A basic exploration into how objects are used and manipulated in ES (ECMAScript).

Within your app.js:

Task:

  1. Create an object named person.
  2. Add a name and an age property to the person object.
  3. Define a function that can print the details of the person object. For example:
  4. “I am called [name] and I am [age] years old.”
  5. Call this function to display the details.
Solution 
"use strict";

// Create a person object with name and age properties
const person = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 25
};

// Function to print details of a person
function displayPersonDetails(p) {
  console.log(`I am called ${p.name} and I am ${p.age} years old.`);
}

// Call the function
displayPersonDetails(person);

// Bonus: Modify the age of the person and call the function again
person.age = 30;
displayPersonDetails(person);

This exercise gives a basic introduction to objects in JavaScript and how they can be passed to functions as arguments. The bonus step adds a little more complexity and shows how we can modify properties of objects.
