Update: code's been updated , works now ☝️

Answer 1

Justus

calculateAge is a function

if we do
this.age = calculateAge()
we are assigning a number to this.age

if we do
this.age = calculateAge
we are assigning a function to this.age

see?

Answer 2

This.age = calculateage
You forgot to add () to make it a method
this.age =calculateage()

Answer 3

Answer 4

In the first example "bouncy", you executing the function and calculated a value to store in this.age

In the second example "bouncer works", you are assigning a function to this.age as class method

and so later, you call the age method with p.age() at your line 16 to execute it.

Answer 5

Gordon that line runs without the parenthesis too. But printing the value without the parenthesis won't work. Any explanation..

Answer 6
