    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. 1:00
