But why at the end of "toUpperCase()"there is "()" . Is it because if you write in the() a specific word to upperCase or it's like that?

string.toUpperCase is a method. The method is a function that applies to an object wrapper of which surrounds the string literal.

For example.

var myString = "treehouse";

myString.toUpperCase() /* === TREEHOUSE
