Methods and Functions Methods are functions defined in the suite of a class statement. However methods that are accessed through an instance will be bound methods.Bound methods couple together a function and the object on which that method will be invoked.This means that when we invoke bound methods,the instance is automatically passed in as the first argument. >>a Account("Tiffany") >>Account.deposit <function> >>a.deposit <bound method>Methods and Functions Methods are functions defined in the suite of a class statement.
