how to use method inside method of a constructor?

Question

method.getTotalDays = function(){
    return (this.longi-this.age)*365;
}

method.eatPercent = function(){
    return this.eat/24;
}

In my next method within this constructor, I want to calculate the days that "eating process" costs in my life. For example, I want to have a method like this:

method.getEatingDays = function(){
var days = 0;
days = eatPercent*totalDays; //How do I get eatPercent and totalDays by using the established  
                             //methods?
}

this.eat is in terms of hours.

If the method is defined as an object, you can do

days = method.eatPercent() * method.totalDays();

If method is a function, then you need

days = this.eatPercent() * this.totalDays();

this here refers to the owner which calls getEatingDays()

You need to call those getter function in the current instance, this can be done via this.fnName()

method.getEatingDays = function(){
var days = 0;
days = this.eatPercent()*this.getTotalDays();
}
