Function:
A function is a set of code or block of code which process data and return or create a output for the given input.
Eg:
def addValues(x, y):
return x+y
x=int(input("Enter your x value:"))
y=int(input("Enter your y value:"))
print(addValues(x, y))
When you consider the above python code, addValues() is a function.
Method:
A method is similar to function where has a set of code or a block of code, which is represented by a name. When the name is called the entire block of code will be executed.
Eg:
class mathis:
def addValues(x, y):
return x+y
x=int(input("Enter your x value:"))
y=int(input("Enter your y value:"))
print(mathis.addValues(x, y))
In the above python code, the same addValues() is defined into a class which is referred as a method.
Here the difference between method and function is:
- If a function is defined inside a class then it is called as method.
(note: Method and function has similar properties where both is used to perform an operation with block of code.)
