Remember functions?

Functions can be assigned to an object property, and in this case they are called methods.

In this example, the start property has a function assigned:

const car = {
  start: function () {
    console.log("Car engine started")
  },
}

We can call this method by using the dot syntax we used for properties, with the parentheses at the end:

car.start()

Methods can accept parameters, just like regular functions:

const car = {
  brand: "Ford",
  model: "Fiesta",
  goTo: function (destination) {
    console.log(`Going to ${destination}`)
  },
}

car.goTo("Rome")
// Going to Rome

and they can return values.
