A method is a function that belongs to an object. Use it when you want to do something with the object.

Oh found one "In Python, a method is a function that is available for a given object because of the object's type. For example, if you create my_list = [1, 2, 3] , the append method can be applied to my_list because it's a Python list: my_list.append(4) . All lists have an append method simply because they are lists"

Methods are useful becaude they: ~make code more readable ~prevent name conflicts ~help separating different tasks for different objects

Timour Zinaliyev Yes, and if there was another datatype, such as set, that also would have had an append method, no name conflicts would happen due that.
