Methods in JavaScript

Question

Where am I going wrong?
function myFirstMethod(line){
console.log("The name is " + this.name + "and the work is " + this.work + " " + line);
}
var object1 = {name : "ankit",
work : "to be awesome"};
object1.myFirstMethod("yup, thats right");
Getting the following error:
object1.myFirstMethod("yup, thats right");
^
TypeError: object1.myFirstMethod is not a function

Answer 1

function myFirstMethod(line){ console.log("The name is " + this.name + "and the work is " + this.work + " " + line); } var object1 = {name : "ankit", work : "to be awesome", myFirstMethod:myFirstMethod}; object1.myFirstMethod("yup, thats right");
this is the answer, I was not defining myFirstObject in the object1

Answer 2

here is the answer;
var object1 = {name : "ankit",
work : "to be awesome"};
object1.myFirstMethod=function (line){
console.log("The name is " + this.name + "and the work is " + this.work + " " + line);
}
object1.myFirstMethod("yup, thats right");

Answer 6

I get what you did there, but then why does this version of the same code runs fine?
function speak(line){
console.log("The "+this.type+" rabbitsays'"+line+"'");
}
var whiteRabbit={type : "white", speak:speak};
whiteRabbit.speak("Oh my ear sand whiskers,"+"how late it's getting!");
