What does the dot “.” indicate in the following code? myCircle.getRadius()

Time to read up on objects and their members.
The correct answer is: 2) It indicates that the getRadius() method is a member of the myCircle object.
In object-oriented programming, the dot "." is used to access members (variables and methods) of an object. In this code snippet, the dot "." is used to access the getRadius() method of the myCircle object, which returns the radius of the circle. This allows you to call the getRadius() method on the specific instance of the myCircle object.
