Yep, there are only definitions. I'm sorry. > - only functions being attributes of a class... What, IYHO, is the difference between a method and a function? > (ok, I know, you meant "functions declared within a class > statement"). I think that those functions _are_ special ones since the compiler is able to make "method(instance, a, b)" out of "instance.method(a, b)". So IMHO, "method definition" makes sense.
