+It's easy to see that these two examples are alike. Be sure to note that methods in a class do not have a comma between them. A common pitfall for novice developers is to put a comma between class methods, which would result in a syntax error. The above are not actually objects but simply making use of a class syntax. This notation is primarily syntactical sugar.
