No, it's div.appendChild(div2);
You call appendChild as a method of the parent node, giving it as an argument
the child node to be appended.

Well, in object orientation, the methods (functions) on "div" (for example)
are the things you can do to that div. One of those things is to append a
child to it. You give it as an argument the child you want to append.
In general terms a method on an object obj is called like this:
obj.method(other, args);
Inside the method function, the keyword "this" is used to refer to the object
on which the method was invoked, i.e. the value of "obj".
