so do i have this right 

var calculater = {
sum: 0,
add: function (value) {
this.sum += value;
}
}

var calculater is the object literal, sum is the property, add: is the key, function (value) is the method.

calculator is the object sum is a property of the calculator object. add is the key as part of the "key: value" pair - add: function the value of add is a function. add is a method you can call on the calculator object.

I think you've got it all down.
