<p>Part of an <strong>object</strong>. A property has a name and a value. The name is a string. The value can be a <strong>primitive</strong>, <strong>method</strong>, or <strong>object reference</strong>. It is often stated that a property holds an object -- this is shorthand for saying the property holds a reference to the object, as properties cannot directly hold the objects themselves. In the case of the property holding an object, there is a distinction between the property's value and the object due to the nature of object references -- the property's value can be changed when it's set to another value, but this does not modify the previously referenced object in any way.</p>
