 The major difference between methods and functions is that methods called by the reference variables called objects where as the functions do not having any reference variables.

Function have independent existence which means they are defined outside the class. Method do not have independent existence that means they are defined inside the class.

It is where about return or not return value

Method -> does not give return value, as subroutine or procedure
Function -> gives return value

The name methods are used in the language Java, in this language we called functions are the methods but in C language we simply called these are functions, because the Java contains class and objects. Methods are called by object variable.

Method and function are the same thing but their are minor difference between them. these difference are :

function return some value but method doesn't return anything .

function have return type but method has no return type

But we can use both the same things .

Example :
some books prefer that strlen() function And some books

Code
 


prefer  strlen() method .

Let me explain the difference between the method and function.

Method is used to for doing the things especially in a systematic way implies an orderly logical arrangement.

The function is a self-contained block of statements that perform a coherent task of some kind.

both methods and functions are set of statements to perform certain tasks...

when it places inside the class it is called as methods. methods are used to call by using objects and we can pass references as parameter.Ex. c++,java

if it is placed inside main function called as functions. function is called directly by the main program and doesn't use references. Ex c language functions

What a C/C++ programmers calls a function,we can call it as methods in Java.
We can insert functions into methods,but we cannot insert methods into functions.

I don't think so. Only the constructor do not have a return type. All other methods should have return type.

And I believe that the functions inside a class is termed as method.

I'm sorry if this is wrong

Methods are functions only which have defined classes they are in JAVA and C#..
functions are in C

In c language we indicate the main function outside the class

eg. class cse

Code
{


..............//stmt;


};


void main()


{


cse c;


c.functionname();


}


 


method :


      In java we indicate the main function only inside the class declare


eg...


 import java.io;


public class cse


{


void display()


{


.......//stmt;


}


public static void main(String []arg)


{


cse c=new cse();


c.display();


}


}

Method can automatically call as constructor.

Please can you explain clearly about independent existence?

A function is a self-contained program segment that performs a particular task.
I mean method are one generally used to define functions in a class, where several types of users access right like public, private and protected can be defined.

A function was used in C/C++. However with the Java the name "method" is used in place of function that is all.

Simple Difference:
1. Inside the class you can write method()
2. Outside the class you can write function()
3. Function have return type.
4. Method don't have return type.
