Reading Documentation

Welcome to array methods!

Reading documentation:

Documentation is actually a lot like the test cases you have seen so far in your exercises, the main three things to pay attention for are:

1. Arguments: what values do you pass into the function/method?
2. Return Value: what will the function/method return?
3. Behavior: what does the function do, how is the return value related to the arguments?

Split into small groups and take a look at these:

• about objects (js.info)
• [copying an object](https://scotch.io/bar-talk/copying-objects-in-javascript0

Exercise

• solve objects.js

Look at the week's Project Tables

• week 2 project tables
