What is a property?

In the first part of the series, we have introduced the property color for our Animal class. Property is a named attribute. Instantiated object can get any value for the defined property.

We can assign any value to the property.

b = new Animal();
b.color = 'red';
b.color = 'pink';
b.color = 'blue';

We can assign the same value to different objects.

a = new Animal();
a.color = 'red';

c = new Animal();
c.color = 'red';

What is a method?

A method is an action that can be performed on object. Let's suppose that the programmer supplies the method move() to class Animal.

move() {
    console.log(`I'm moving.`);
}

This is a simple method that show the message "I'm moving." in the console log every type it's called, whatever the object is.
