Did not understand the named method part (passwordEvent).

Hi Rafael. I hope this helps:

Dave Mcfarland's course Javascript Basics covers this.

To keep your code DRY, you can name a function, so that you can use it over and over in other parts of the code just by calling that function.

So for a simple example,

var word = prompt("Find the amount of letters in a word"); 

function printLengthOfWord() { //name function
  console.log(word.length);
}

printLengthOfWord(); //call the function as many times as you want
printLengthOfWord();
printLengthOfWord();
printLengthOfWord();

This is the same idea with what Andrew talked about. The reason the function passwordEvent was passed into the parentheses of .focus() and .keyup() is because A FUNCTION NORMALLY GOES BETWEEN THE PARENTHESES OF THESE JQUERY EVENTS. So, if you named your function, there is no need for you to retype the WHOLE function code again when you could just call it by its name (which in this case Andrew named his function passwordEvent.)

Let me know if this didn't help :)

Hi Rafael, I'm not sure exactly what you are having problems with but, basically, Andy is creating a reusable snippet of code to remove repeated functions.

In this case, Andy was using the same bit of code on either a focus() or keyup() event so to keep from writing "Wet DRY" (code that is repeated multiple times throughout your application). He created a function (name method) to achieve the same result without having to repeat the same block of code more than once.

Please let me know if you have a more specific question.
