JavaScript | Object Methods

Object Methods in JavaScript can be accessed by using functions. Functions in JavaScript are stored as property values. The objects can also be called without using bracket ().

In a method, ‘this’ refers to the owner object.
Additional information can also be added along with the object method.

Syntax:

objectName.methodName()

Properties: A function may be divided into different property values, which are then combined and returned together.
For Ex: Student function contains the properties:

name
class
section

Return Value: It returns methods/functions stored as object properties.

Example 1: This example use function definition as property value.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <title> 
        JavaScript Object Methods 
    </title> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <h1>Geeks</h1> 
      
    <h3>JavaScript Object Method</h3> 
      
    <p> 
        studentDetail is a function definition, 
        it is stored as a property value. 
    </p> 
      
    <p id="gfg"></p> 
      
    <script> 
      
        // Object creation 
        var student = { 
            name: "Martin", 
            class : "12th", 
            section : "A", 
              
            studentDetails : function() { 
                return this.name + " " + this.class  
                    + " " + this.section + " "; 
            } 
        }; 
          
        // Display object data 
        document.getElementById("gfg").innerHTML  
                = student.studentDetails(); 
    </script> 
</body> 
  
</html>                                 

Output:

Example 2: This example use storing property values and accessing without bracket ().

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <title> 
        JavaScript Object Methods 
    </title> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <h1>Geeks</h1> 
      
    <h3>JavaScript Object Method</h3> 
      
    <p> 
        studentDetail is a function definition, 
        it is stored as a property value. 
    </p> 
      
    <p> 
        Function definition is returned 
        if we don't use (). 
    </p> 
    <p id="gfg"></p> 
      
    <script> 
      
        // Object creation 
        var student = { 
            name: "Martin", 
            class : "12th", 
            section : "A", 
              
            studentDetails : function() { 
                return this.name + " " + this.class 
                    + " " + this.section + " "; 
            } 
        }; 
          
        // Display object data 
        document.getElementById("gfg").innerHTML  
                = student.studentDetails; 
    </script> 
</body> 
  
</html>                                 

Output:

Example 3: Using function definition as property value and accessing with additional details.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <title> 
        JavaScript Object Methods 
    </title> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <h1>Geeks</h1> 
      
    <h3>JavaScript Object Method</h3> 
      
    <p> 
        studentDetail is a function definition, 
        it is stored as a property value. 
    </p> 
      
    <p id="gfg"></p> 
      
    <script> 
      
        // Object creation 
        var student = { 
        name: "Martin", 
        class : "12th", 
        section : "A", 
          
        studentDetails : function() { 
            return this.name + " " + this.class  
                + " " + this.section + " "; 
        } 
    }; 
      
    // Display object data 
    document.getElementById("gfg").innerHTML 
        = "STUDENT " + student.studentDetails(); 
    </script> 
</body> 
  
</html>
