What is the difference between a method and a function in javascript

Question

Can someone give a simple explanation of methods vs. functions in Javascript context? I have not found any answer on stack overflow

Answer 1

I think both are pretty much synonym. However, you might want to use the term Method when it is a function within an class/object.

Answer 2

In a practical sense, absolutely nothing. They are the same.

In a semantic sense, a method is simply a function that belongs to an object or class.

This is the same for pretty much every language out there as well. Another term in the same basket is "sub-routine", which is again, pretty much the same exact thing as a function.
