WordPress syntax

Hi Experts,

I'm taking a WP course, and can anyone explain to me why sometimes we use the object notation ($_post->post_title), and whysometimes we call an ordinary function (the_author)?

The ordinary function is confusing to me, because ... the author of what post, whereas with objects, we itterate through them?

Thanks and Happy Holidays
