Introduction to JavaScript – Properties. When you introduce a new piece of data into a JavaScript program, the browser saves it as an instance of the data type. An instance is an individual case (or object) of a data type.

JavaScript will save a new piece of data, like ‘Hello‘, as a string instance in the computer’s memory. Another example, the number 40.7, is stored as an instance of the number data type.

An instance, like the string ‘Hello‘, has additional information attached to it.

For example, every string instance has a property called length that stores the number of characters in it. You can retrieve property information by appending the string with a period and the property name:

[javascript] console.log(‘Hello’.length); [/javascript]

In the example above, the value saved to the length property is retrieved from the string, ‘Hello‘. The program prints 5 to the console because Hello has five characters in it.

About the Author: Bernard Aybout

In the land of bytes and bits, a father of three sits, With a heart for tech and coding kits, in IT he never quits. At Magna's door, he took his stance, in Canada's wide expanse, At Karmax Heavy Stamping - Cosma's dance, he gave his career a chance. With a passion deep for teaching code, to the young minds he showed, The path where digital seeds are sowed, in critical thinking mode. But alas, not all was bright and fair, at Magna's lair, oh despair, Harassment, intimidation, a chilling air, made the workplace hard to bear. Management's maze and morale's dip, made our hero's spirit flip, In a demoralizing grip, his well-being began to slip. So he bid adieu to Magna's scene, from the division not so serene, Yet in tech, his interest keen, continues to inspire and convene.
