In this class, we will see the use of C++ methods.

What is a method?

As we have seen before, methods are actions that objects in a given class can perform. Like every action performed by the computer, they are defined by a sequence of steps, by an algorithm.

Within our context, this type of action is represented by a function.

How to create a method?

It is enough to declare a function (a procedure) in the scope of the class. The easiest way is to declare and define it inside the braces that delimit the class scope. See an example:

struct classA {
    void method() {
        printf("Method01\n");
    }
};
