You have to call the details function employee.details()

You are updating the value of empname to Sam in details method , you need to call that method and then you use it .

<html>
      <head>
       <script>
         var employee = {
            empname: "David",
            department : "Finance",
            id : 002,
            details : function() {
                
                this.empname = "Sam";
               return this.empname + " with Department " + this.department;
            }
         };
         employee.details()
         document.write(employee.empname);
         </script>
       </head>
    </html>
