Now that you've added a method
to the object literal,
0:00
your task was to practice
calling this method.
0:02
After the object,
you were asked to create a variable and
0:05
set it to the return value
from the countWords method.
0:08
Let's declare the variable.
0:11
I'll call it numWords, but
any variable name would work.
0:13
Now, if you recall, to access a property
on an object or to call one of its methods
0:20
using dot notation, you write the name of
the object, which in our case is myString,
0:24
because that's the variable
that the object is stored in,
0:29
followed by a dot, followed by
the name of the property or method.
0:32
Dot notation isn't the only way to access
an object's properties or methods,
0:39
you can also use bracket notation.
0:43
So I'll edit the code to show you how
to do this with bracket notation, too.
0:46
Both dot and bracket notation
are acceptable to use when working with
0:56
objects, but I find dot notation
easier to read and write.
