Chapter 3 - Functions, Methods, and Objects

  1. this chapter talks about the function and the basic function, since the function is let you group a series of statements together to perform a specific task. If different parts of a script repeat the same task, you can reuse the function (rather than repeating the same set of statements). Also how to declare a function, and here is a code example:
function myName(){
    document.write("Qamar);
}

and we call it by its name.

  1. objects: Objects group together a set of variables and functions to create a model of something you would recognize from the real world. In an object, variables and functions take on new names. we can create an object as:
var car = {
    type: 'toyota'
    color: 'blue'
    seats: '2'

}
