What do objects want




















Taken in parallel, case studies from different fields and periods will hopefully allow us to approach some important questions: How can we understand historic cases of returns, from Ancient Mesopotamia to Post-Napoleonic France, in relation to the contemporary culture of redress?

Can they be related to the evolution of the "guilt of nations" defined by Elazar Barkan as a post World War II phenomenon?

Have the growing number of negotiations around human remains impacted on how we perceive the issue of ownership for other types of objects, i. What do negotiations around Nazi looted art have in common with the legal and ethical questions related to objects appropriated in colonial contexts? Applications in English consisting of an abstract of words and a short C.

Properties of JavaScript objects can also be accessed or set using a bracket notation for more details see property accessors. Objects are sometimes called associative arrays , since each property is associated with a string value that can be used to access it. So, for example, you could access the properties of the myCar object as follows:.

An object property name can be any valid JavaScript string, or anything that can be converted to a string, including the empty string. However, any property name that is not a valid JavaScript identifier for example, a property name that has a space or a hyphen, or that starts with a number can only be accessed using the square bracket notation.

This notation is also very useful when property names are to be dynamically determined when the property name is not determined until runtime. Examples are as follows:. Please note that all keys in the square bracket notation are converted to string unless they're Symbols, since JavaScript object property names keys can only be strings or Symbols at some point, private names will also be added as the class fields proposal progresses, but you won't use them with [] form.

For example, in the above code, when the key obj is added to the myObj , JavaScript will call the obj. You can use the bracket notation with for To illustrate how this works, the following function displays the properties of the object when you pass the object and the object's name as arguments to the function:.

However, this can be achieved with the following function:. This can be useful to reveal "hidden" properties properties in the prototype chain which are not accessible through the object, because another property has the same name earlier in the prototype chain. Listing accessible properties only can easily be done by removing duplicates in the array. JavaScript has a number of predefined objects. In addition, you can create your own objects.

You can create an object using an object initializer. Alternatively, you can first create a constructor function and then instantiate an object invoking that function in conjunction with the new operator. In addition to creating objects using a constructor function, you can create objects using an object initializer. Using object initializers is sometimes referred to as creating objects with literal notation.

The obj and assignment are optional; if you do not need to refer to this object elsewhere, you do not need to assign it to a variable. Note that you may need to wrap the object literal in parentheses if the object appears where a statement is expected, so as not to have the literal be confused with a block statement.

Object initializers are expressions, and each object initializer results in a new object being created whenever the statement in which it appears is executed. Identical object initializers create distinct objects that will not compare to each other as equal. Objects are created as if a call to new Object were made; that is, objects made from object literal expressions are instances of Object. The following statement creates an object and assigns it to the variable x if and only if the expression cond is true:.

The following example creates myHonda with three properties. Note that the engine property is also an object with its own properties. You can also use object initializers to create arrays. See array literals. To define an object type, create a function for the object type that specifies its name, properties, and methods.
