Object Methods

• A method is a special type of property that points to a function and can be called using dot notation followed by parentheses, such as objet.methodName()
• Properties in JavaScript can be more than just values by pointing the properties to functions, which means they can represent actions or behaviors, not just static values.
• The this keyword refers to the object that the method is called on, allowing access to other properties of that object.
• A nested object structure example is a menu with lunch and dinner properties, where each property points to another object with appetizer, main, and dessert properties.
• Objects can be elements within an array, such as an array of objects where each object has multiple properties.

const spices = [
	{name: "Emma", nickname: "Baby"},
	{name: "Geri", nickname: "Ginger"},
	{name: "Mel B", nickname: "Scary"},
	{name: "Mel C", nickname: "Sporty"}
]

const spiceGirls = {
	albums: ["Spice", "Spiceworld", "Forever"],
	motto: "Girl Power",
	Members: spices
}

Built-in Objects

The console object has built in methods like log(), warn(), error(), and clear() which can output different types of messages to the browser console.

How JavaScript handles primitive strings when using methods like .toUpperCase() is that it wraps primitive strings in wrapper object behind the scenes, allowing method calls while keeping the original string immutable.

Math provides method and constants like Math.pi and Math.random() which generates a pseudo-random number between 0 and 1.

In JavaScript, any value that is not primitive value is considered an object, which includes arrays, functions, and built-in types.

Still on Objects & Arrays

Property names can be unquoted single words or quoted strings, even with spaces or special characters. Quoted property names can be access using bracket notation.

The special characteristics Arrays have in relation to objects are arrays are a kind of object with special properties (indices properties)
