As far as the C++ standard is concerned, there is no such thing as a "method". This terminology is used in other OO languages (e.g. Java) to refer to member functions of a class. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8596461/in-c-what-is-the-difference-between-a-method-and-a-function

It is not important whether the method/function has or has not return value.Important is only whether the method/function is belong the class or not.

Methods can return values ! Methods are functions like the others but, they are in a class.

My point of that so. 1. Function is set of statements where behavior based on the task is determined . 2. Method is the function, but determined in the field of class or structure.
