What is the length() method?
These three reasons explain why methods are fundamental building blocks of a programming language.
What are 1.Easily re-used 2.Easy to debug, and 3. Break up a complex task into smaller, simpler tasks?
A class can be thought of as this for creating an object.
What is a prototype?
These errors are detected by the compiler.
What are syntax errors (grammatical mistakes)?
Array and object variables get passed to a method in this way.
