Make use of what is known as encapsulation, an automatic feature of JavaScript objects. Each property or method name you define for an object is private to that object. For example, if you define an object that contains three properties and two methods, the only name that is accessible to other script statements outside of the object is the identifier you use for the entire object. The five names you use for the properties and methods can be used anywhere else without fear of naming conflicts. Access to the internal properties and methods is via the standard objectName. propertyName and objectName.methodName( ) syntax.
