Built-In JavaScript Methods
We have just covered most of the basic building blocks in JavaScript. Now it's time to look at some powerful built-in methods that will make your life easier that we haven't seen yet. Built-in methods are functionality that we get out of the box with JavaScript. We can use these methods without having to code them first. This is something we have done a lot already, for example, console.log()
and prompt()

, Array
, and Object
classes.
The ability to harness the capabilities that are already built into JavaScript can improve the effectiveness of the code, save time, and comply with various best practices for developing solutions. We are going to address some of the common uses...
