Association

In JavaScript, "association" typically refers to the relationship between objects, where one object is connected to another in some way.

This connection can be established through properties or methods.

Suppose you have two objects: person and car.

You want to associate a person with a car, indicating that the person owns the car.

// Define a person object
let person = {
    name: "John",
    age: 30,
    gender: "male"
};

// Define a car object
let car = {
    make: "Toyota",
    model: "Camry",
    year: 2020,
    owner: person // Associate the person object with the car object
};

// Now you can access the owner of the car
console.log(car.owner.name); // Outputs: John

In this example, the car object has a property called owner, which is assigned the person object.

This association indicates that the person whose details are stored in the person object owns the car.

Associations in JavaScript can be much more complex and dynamic depending on the requirements of your application.

They are commonly used in object-oriented programming to model relationships between different entities in a system.
