From my understanding, methods are functions inside classes that act on the object itself. But what if there's a certain function (that does NOT act on the object itself) I want to call inside a class?
I've done some testings, and apparently both classes down below do the same thing. Which one is the best, though, Class1 that defines the function as a method that does not act on the object, or Class2 that defines the function inside the method itself, so only that specific method can use it?
class Class1:
def __init__(self):
self.test=0
def method(self):
self.test=Class1.function(x)
def function(x):
#obviosly simple because it's just an example
return x**2
class Class2:
def __init__(self):
self.test=0
def method(self):
def function(x):
#obviosly simple because it's just an example
return x**2
self.test=function(x)
