Sure ... there are plenty here. If you want to get into javascript, MDN link is a handy one to keep. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Working_with_Objects

Hello

your car is Red, has 4 doors and V8 engine. These are properties.

your car starts, stops, speeds up, slows downs ... these are things that your car can do ... these are methods.

If this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.

Thanks
