Methods and functions can't really be said to be one or the other, which is why some programming languages forgo those as keywords entirely and have different ways of defining new processes which will be run repeatedly by the program.


I avoided calling it by a specific name here because "method", "function", "subroutine", or even "banana" are all just arbitrary words which could be used to describe it.

A method is a type of function. Functions that are methods can be called methods. The word "method" refers to a function because a method is a type of function.

Honestly though, this has just as much bearing on my argument above as pointing out grammatical errors.
I think Jetz has the right idea here. Way I learned it, Objective-C (Object oriented language) had methods which would be class specific. Functions are functions. Maybe they could be switched around, but I don't really think so.
