// Function example
// getFullName method inside the person object
const person = {
  firstName: 'John',
  lastName: 'Doe',
  // Method of the object
  getFullName: function () {
    return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;
  },
};

const fullName = person.getFullName();
console.log('name:', fullName)

return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;

# Method

In JavaScript, objects can have properties and methods. A method is simply "a function of the object".

<br />

Let's look at several examples of methods for handling strings (length, toUpperCase).

```javascript title="length, toUpperCase Method Examples"
let name = 'banana';

// A method that returns the length of the string
console.log(name.length); // 6

// A method that converts the string to uppercase
console.log(name.toUpperCase()); // BANANA
```

These methods can be defined not only for primitive data types but also for user-defined objects.

<br />

**2. Differences between Methods and Functions**:

## Function:

  - A function is an independent block of code. It is a set of instructions that perform a specific task.
  - Functions are not bound to any particular object.
  - ```javascript title="Function Example"
    function greet() {
      console.log('Hello!');
    }
    greet(); // Hello!
    ```

<br />

## Method:

  - A method is a function defined as a property of an object.
  - Methods are called within the context of the corresponding object and often access other properties of the object.
  - Use the `this` keyword to refer to the object within a method. Here, `this` refers to the object that owns the method.
  - ```javascript title="Method Example"
    const person = {
      name: 'John',
      greet: function () {
        console.log('Hello, ' + this.name + '!');
      },
    };
    person.greet(); // Hello, John!
    ```

A method is a function that belongs to an object, which can access other attributes of the object or be called within that object. On the other hand, a function is an independent code block that is not tied to any specific object.
