Hi, Functions : Functions have independent existence means they can be defined outside of the class. Ex:- main() function in C, C++ Language Functions are defined in structured languages like Pascal,C and object based language like javaScript Functions are called independently. Functions are self describing unit of code. Methods : Methods do not have independent existence they are always defined with in class. Ex:- main() method in C# Language that is defined with in a class Methods are defined in object oriented languages like C#, Java Methods are called using instance or object. Methods are used to manipuate instance variable of a class. Reference : http://www.dotnet-tricks.com/Tutorial/oops/4a0J170612-Difference-between-function-and-method.html

F unction → F ree (Free means it can be anywhere, no need to be in an object or class) M ethod → M ember (A member of an object or class) Method & Function are not the same

Daril · Answer

Functions are defined outside of classes, while Methods are defined inside and they are probably part of classes.

Hi Function is that piece of code that has name ( called function name) and data to operate on ( called arguments) that is provided in the parenthesis adjacent to the function name. All function arguments are explicit. Method on the other had can be viewed as a function that acts on an Object. This object is an instance of a class (blueprint of that instance). Method will always have an implicit argument as a reference to self. For example in python you use self , or in Java you use this. So to sum it up simplistically speaking "method" is object oriented word for function . For detail check the link http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/31163 python
