Understanding JavaScript Methods

Methods in JavaScript are functions that are properties of objects. They allow objects to perform actions. Here's a quick example:

Exaple 1: Smartphone Object

const smartPhone ={ 
    brand: "Google", 
    model: "Pixel 9", 
    displayTime(){ c
        console.log("The current time is displayed on the screen."); 
    } 
}; smartPhone.displayTime
                 

In this example:

• brand and model are properties.
• displaytime is a method that displays the current time.

Example 2: Letter Object

const letter = {
    toName: "Betty Johnson",
    toAddress: "1224 Main Street",
    fromName: "Charles Jones",
    fromAdress: "212 N. Park Ave",
    message: "Hello Betty, Please call me when you can, Chuck",
    print() {
        console.log("To Name: " + this.toName);
        console.log("To Address: " + this.toAddress);
        console.log("From Name: " + this.fromName);
        console.log("From Address: " + this.fromAdress);
        console.log("Message: " + this.message);
    }
};
letter.print();
                

In this example:

• toName, toAddress, fromName, fromAdress, and message are properties of the letter object.
• print is a method that logs the details of the letter.

Methods in JavaScript help keep related functions within objects, making your code cleaner and more organized.
