Re: [WSG] JavaScript clarification please

[Anthony Ziebell]

Sure, that's what an "object" is. But OOP is not just about an "object". There is a lot more involved. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of _javascript_ - but it has faux classes and objects, and this is why my opinion of _javascript_ is that it is prototype, not object. Cheers, Anthony. Brett Patterson wrote: I didn't see that. :) But as I have read in other areas, _javascript_ is based on ECMAScript. And Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses "objects" and their interactions to design applications and computer programs. Is this correct?
