Lesson Notes

Using `this` in Object Methods (Simple)

The this keyword inside an object method refers to the object itself, letting you access its properties.

Example Object

const person = {
  name: "Alice",
  age: 30,
  printAge: function() {
    console.log(this.age);
  }
};

this.age accesses the age property on person.

Calling the Method

person.printAge();  
// Logs: 30

When you call person.printAge(), this inside printAge points to person.
You can reference any property: this.name, this.someOtherProp, etc.

Why Use `this`?

Allows methods to work with their own object’s data.
Makes methods reusable across different objects if needed.
