How can I use object methods in JavaScript?

In JavaScript, object methods are functions that are properties of an object. For example, you can define a method like this:

const car = {
  brand: 'Toyota',
  start: function() {
    return 'The car has started!';
  }
};

You can call the method using car.start(). Would you like to see more examples?

Yes, can you show me how to use the this keyword in object methods?

Certainly! The this keyword refers to the object that the method is called on. Here's an example:

const person = {
  name: 'Alice',
  greet: function() {
    return 'Hello, my name is ' + this.name;
  }
};

When you call person.greet(), it will return 'Hello, my name is Alice'. Would you like to learn about more advanced topics?

What about using methods in constructors?

Great question! You can define methods in constructor functions. Here's an example:

function Dog(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.bark = function() {
    return this.name + ' says woof!';
  };
}

const myDog = new Dog('Buddy');
console.log(myDog.bark()); // 'Buddy says woof!'
