Objects in Context Help

[skrumf]

So I’ve just got to the part of the full stack developer course where I am learning about JavaScript objects. I understand the concept when it comes to physical objects ie. A car has passengers, seats, seat belts etc. I’m just wondering if anyone can offer a more literal explanation for the use of objects within web design or software development. I will do my own researching and keep practicing, but if I can be pushed in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks.

An object isn’t very different in programming, it really represent something

for example, on this website you might have a user object, which contains: username, picture.

or if you have a webshop, you might have products object (which contains: name, price, description, maybe a quantity field (how many of this product the customer wants to buy))

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense now you describe it like that.
