Method vs Functions, and other questions

Question

With respect to JS, what\'s the difference between the two? I know methods are associated with objects, but am confused what\'s the purpose of functions? How does the syntax

Answer 1

A method is a property of an object whose value is a function. Methods are called on objects in the following format: object.method().

//this is an object named developer

 const developer = {
  name: 'Andrew',
  sayHello: function () {
    console.log('Hi there!');
  },
  favoriteLanguage: function (language) {
    console.log(`My favorite programming language is ${language}`);
  }
};

// favoriteLanguage: and sayHello: and name: all of them are proprieties in the object named developer

now lets say you needed to call favoriteLanguage propriety witch is a function inside the object..

you call it this way

developer.favoriteLanguage('JavaScript');

// My favorite programming language is JavaScript'

so what we name this: developer.favoriteLanguage('JavaScript'); its not a function its not an object? what it is? its a method
