[Tutor] methods vs. functions

[TheIrda]

Well, my understanding is that function are used in procedural programmming
to make the code reusable, and to divide the bigger problem in a serie of
 smaller ones.
Methods are used in OOP, and mainly are the actions taht objects can
perform.

Thay have a very similar syntax in python, but the concept is quite
different.
In the procedural programming you have the code that manipulare date to get
the result, while in OOP you have objects that act through methods to get
teh result.

At least this is my understanding :)
