I'm not understanding the purpose of a method in JS. Is a method like a pathway to a code library?

Another way to put it would be to say a method is a property of an object that is also a function.

12,842 PointsHi Steven, Good to "see" you again, and thanks for your help! :) I always wondered if method was the same thing as a function...and I appreciate the concise reply & some better understanding that no, they're a bit different.
