Methods

In JavaScript, methods are function that exist on an object. Here is an example…

class Animal {
    constructor(name){
        this.name = name;
    }
    grunt(){
        return ${this.name} says “ugh!”;
    } }
let gorilla = new Animal(‘Bongo’);
console.log(gorilla.grunt()); 

This code would output Bongo says “ugh!”. Notice that we did not use the function keyword. We did need the return though.

Note: You might notice that we used backticks in this example. You also might notice something odd. We used a dollar sign ($) and curly braces ({}) in our line of log code. This syntax allows for interpolation. We can put a variable inside the curly braces and the code will display the value of the variable.

Happy Coding!

Unleashing Creativity with the Canvas API

The Canvas API stands as one of the web’s most powerful tools for creating dynamic, interactive graphics. Unlike SVG, Canvas operates at the pixel level, making it ideal for games, data visualizations, and real-time graphics processing. With a simple HTML element and JavaScript, developers can create everything from basic shapes to complex animations that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser.
