Create an object

Function: Create an Object

This function allows you to create a structured piece of data, often called an "object," directly within your application's memory. This object can hold various pieces of information, organized with specific names (fields) and their corresponding values. Once created, you can use this object throughout your application's logic, for example, to store temporary data, configure settings, or prepare data for other actions.

Input,

• Object
  • Description: This is where you define all the fields and their values that will make up your new object. Think of it like filling out a form with different labels (fields) and the information you want to store under each label (values).
  • Type: OBJECT (A collection of key-value pairs)
  • Required: Yes

Output,

• Object variable name
  • Description: This is the name you give to the variable that will store your newly created object. You will use this name later in your application to refer to and access the data within this object.
  • Type: OBJECT (A collection of key-value pairs)
  • Default Value: NEW_OBJECT
