What's the difference between function & method in Python?

Answer 1

Generally functions are performed ON objects, methods are performed BY objects.

Analogy example:
Function: wash a dog, repair a car, clean a room.
Method: a dog barks, a car moves, a goblin attacks.

Obviously a function can be a method (a boy washes a dog).

In real world "method" is just an OO (object-oriented) name for functions defined inside a class.

Answer 2

Methods are basically functions that belong to classes.

Answer 3

methods are a part of functinos

to initialize (run) the method first we have to specify the function and then the method
