So far, we've seen .push() and .pop() as methods of array instances. In JavaScript, a method is simply a function inherent to its data type that operates on the data and properties of a variable. I mentioned before that nearly everything in JavaScript is an object, and that is not an exaggeration. From functionality and syntax to structure and usage, there are many similarities between the raw data type of an object and any other variable.
The next part of our understanding of the syntax of JavaScript is everyone's favorite: punctuation. While it may seem trivial, it's very important for the interpretation, by both humans and computers, of the code.
