Answer 3

The difference between them is same as the different between True and not False

Answer 4

In javaScript, a method is just a function that belongs to an object.

for example...

var Hotel = {
rooms: 45,
pool: true,

makeBooking: function () {
//make a booking
}
}

Above, Hotel is the object and it has the funtion makeBooking. You would call it like:

Hotel.makeBooking()

Because the makeBooking funtion is belongs to the Hotel object, it is a method.

The following, when written in the global scope is simply a function:

function blah () {
//do stuff
}

You would call this function like:

blah()

Notice that it is NOT called like this:

SomeObject.blah()

Functions that belong to an object are methods.
Functions are just functions.
