An object is a programming abstraction that groups data with the code that operates on it. It's a "creature" that encapsulates data and its relevant functions. The data is stored in the object's properties. Its functions are called methods. An object named course, for example, could have the following properties:

Property	Example Content
`name`	Advanced JavaScript Programming
`code`	F12389
`day`	Monday
`time`	5 pm - 8 pm
`students`	Name, Age, Address, Telephone

Here are the object's methods:

Method	Processed Data
`initialize()`	Basic information (name, reference, day, etc.)
`addStudent()`	New student's basic information
`deleteStudent()`	Current student's information
`printCourse()`	Course's information
`printStudents()`	Students' information
