A method is a function which is a property of an object. There are two kind of methods: Instance Methods which are built-in tasks performed by an object instance, or Static Methods which are tasks that can be performed without the need of an object instance.
Note: In JavaScript functions themselves are objects, so, in that context, a method is actually an object reference to a function.
