object = { name1 : value1 , name2 : value2 ,... nameN : valueN }
{ expression1; [...expressionN] }
Creates a new object and initializes it with the specified
name
and
value
property pairs. Using
this operator is the same as using the
new Object
syntax and populating the property pairs
using the assignment operator. The prototype of the newly created object is generically named
the Object object.
This operator is also used to mark blocks of contiguous code associated with flow control
statements (
for
,
while
,
if
,
else
,
switch
) and functions.
