In Python, Objects have built-in methods inside it, which can be used to perform actions on the object itself. We can call methods of any object by putting period after object variable and then the method name.

Syntax:    objectVariable.methodName( parameters.. )

                  objectVariable :  variable containing object. 

                  methodName :   name of the method, which we like to execute.

                  parameters :      extra parameter ( 0 or more ) pass into the method.
