JavaScript object properties can be changed, added, deleted, and mad read only. Object methods are actions that can be performed on objects.

const car = {
    type: "Maserati", 
    model: "Quattroporte", 
    color: "white",
    fullName: function() {
        return this.type + " " + this.model; // this is a method stored as a property/value pair
    }
};

There are two ways to access the properties of an JavaScript object.

let myCar = car.type; // Maserati

let myCar = car["type"]; // Maserati

A new property can be added to an existing object by naming it and giving it a value.

car.year = 2025;

car["year"] = 2025;

The delete keyword is used to delete a property from an object.

delete car.year;

delete car["year"];

The delete keyword is used to delete a property from an object.

const car = {
    type: "Maserati", 
    model: "Quattroporte", 
    color: "white",
        myCars: {
            car1: "Maserati",
            car2: "Alfa Romeo"
        }
};

Object methods are actions that can be performed on objects. They are a function definition stored as a property value.

const car = {
    type: "Maserati", 
    model: "Quattroporte", 
    color: "white",
    fullName: function() {
        return this.type + " " + this.model; // this is a method stored as a property/value pair
    }
};

The following syntax is used to access a method.

objectName.methodName()

The following accesses the function fullName stored inside the car object.

carName = car.fullName(); // Maserati Quattroporte

If the fullName property is accessed without (), it will return the function definition.

function() { return this.type + " " + this.model; }
