Скачать или смотреть Difference between Functions and Methods

In Python, functions and methods are both used to define a block of code that can be executed with specific input parameters. However, there are a few differences between the two:

Functions are stand-alone blocks of code that can be defined and called independently of any class or object, while methods are functions that are defined within a class or an object and are invoked on an instance of that class or object.

Functions can accept any number of input parameters and can return a value or no value at all, while methods typically accept one input parameter (the instance of the class) and can also return a value or no value at all.

Functions can be defined in any Python file or module and can be imported and used from anywhere, while methods can only be used on instances of a class or object.

Functions can be called with the function name followed by parentheses, while methods are called with the instance name followed by a dot and the method name, followed by parentheses.

Functions are usually defined as part of a program's top-level code, while methods are defined as part of a class or an object's code.

Overall, the main difference between functions and methods is that functions are stand-alone code blocks that can be called from anywhere, while methods are functions that are defined within a class or an object and can only be called on instances of that class or object.
