Is there a difference between functions and methods in Python. For example, this is the text from tutorialpoint on Python: Python includes the following list functions - cmp, len etc.
Python includes following list methods - append, count A related question. Refer to the following lines: 1) len(list) 2) list.append() The first line passes list to a len function while the second line calls append method in list. So, how to interpret this? In the first case, len is a function that python provides to which list can be passed and in the second case, append is a method within list class? If my interpretation is correct, why not make len also as a part of list class itself? Thanks in advance -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
