Which statement is true regarding methods in JavaScript?

Question

Options

• AMethods are functions stored as object properties.
• BMethods cannot be called on objects.
• CMethods are the same as JavaScript loops.
• DMethods are used to link JavaScript to HTML.

• A
  90% (18)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  5% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because in JavaScript, a method is simply a function that has been assigned as a property of an object - when you call obj.greet(), greet is a method because it's a function living inside obj.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is the opposite of true - the entire point of methods is that they are called on objects (e.g., array.push(), string.toUpperCase()).
• C confuses methods with loops (for, while), which are control-flow constructs, not object properties.
• D describes <script> tags or event attributes - the mechanism for linking JS to HTML - which has nothing to do with methods.

Memory tip: Think of a method as an object's action - just as an object has properties (data it has), it has methods (things it does). If a function belongs to an object, it's a method.
