JavaScript for Beginners: Interactivity

• What is an Object?
  An object is any one thing, such as a form, window, or scrollbar. Objects are like "nouns" in a sentence.
• What are Properties?
  Properties modify Objects. These are "the adjectives" of object-oriented programming.
• What are Methods?
  Methods are actions that objects are able to accomplish. They are "the verb" of object oriented programming.
• What is "dot syntax?"
  Dot syntax is the language structure used to code objects in Javascript. "Dots" are used to separate Objects from Properties and/or Methods.
• What are Event Handlers in JavaScript?
  Event Handlers are used by Javascript to interact with the users actions. For example, when the computer user clicks the mouse an Event Handler will detect and act upon the click.
• What are Values and Variables?
  A Value is a piece of data either in numeric or string form. Variables are symbols assigned to represent values. For example, if X = 16; "X" is a variable, and 16 is a value.
• What are Operators?
  Operators are signs, such as "+", "-", "/", "*" that maniuplate and can change the value of a variable. But my favorite is the modulus operator: "%" .
