Methods

• A method is just a function defined inside a class

• It shows what a class can do, like behaviour or action

• You always see self as the first argument (it means the method is linked to the object)

Example:

Copyclass BankAccount:
    def deposit(self, amount):  # this is a method
        print(f"Deposited {amount}")

• deposit() is a method

• It belongs to the BankAccount class

• It defines what happens when someone deposits money

Types of Methods

• Instance Method (default one)

• Class Method

• Static Method

• Constructor

Types of Methods (based on logic)

Now, depending on whether the method has logic or just a rule, we call it:

• Concrete Method

• Abstract Method
