What is the difference between methods and objects in Java?

Answer 1

methods are some actions (functions) , they do something. objects just represent some classes or interfaces. according to objects, it's possible to create some links between classes and transfer some parameters.

Answer 2

Consider a class as a skeleton that contains data and methods.You have to use that skeleton to do data manipulation.so you give those skeleton different names called object.

through that object you access different types of skeletons.For example a skeleton can be name male or female,both has different characteristics(i.e)data
under same attributes.

Methods are set of instructions,which we use to do operations on the data. For example, we use Male Object to do a work called writing,then the method
write() will have the Following instructions.
1.take pen
2.take paper
3.write "something"

this write() method can be accessed by both male amd Female object. to access it with male we use male.write() and to access it with female we use female.write(),where male and female are skeletons objects and write() is a method.

Answer 3

Use the two in a code

Answer 4

Good question... initialy me too can't discern the difference between objects and methods.
there are 3 general things in oop :
1. Classes 2. Methods or sometimes called functions  3. Objects is a class which a blue print for an object.

For example:
public class CelciustoFahrenheit
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // this is object in classes temperature
    temperature obj=new temperature();
    ....
   }
}

// this is methods or so called function

class temperature { 
   float CelciustoFahrenheit(float x) {
       return  x;
   }

Answer 5

A method is a block of code that can be called by name within the program.

An Object is an instance of a class. They may contain methods or attributes that define what they are.

Not similar at all.

Answer 6

A Class is your idea of something, it's imaginary, think of a car, what's your idea of a car? runs on fuel, 4 wheels, directed using steering wheel, etc. But you can't make use of imaginary car can you? you need a real car to drive and play with, something real, so you need to create/build this idea/imagination into life, a real car.

The process of building the real car from the imaginary idea/Class is dubbed "Instantiation" and the real physical car is called "object", it is an instance (reality) of your idea/Class of a car.

A method is a block of code you place in a Class' body to allow the Class to perform an action on something, or to process a certain input. In a car for example, a method may be created to allow the driver to start/stop engine, accelerate/decelerate, switch the wipers etc.

Other block of code may also be placed in a Class for altering the behavior or appearance of the Class instance (object), they are referred to as Properties or Attributes. They are used to manipulate internal/private data (variables) declared in the Class

Properties allow you to get/set current state of the said attribute. e.g. The car Class may have "EngineMode" Property that returns current engine mode, and allows you to change the engine mode (Eco, Sport, Off-Road etc) and it changes how the real car engine behaves.

In Java, methods and attributes ownership can be separated into Class' and instance's, a Class' methods & properties can be used directly, without need to create an instance (object). An instance methods & properties requires an instance to be created before invocation.

Answer 7

Methods are actions or codes which perform particular tasks. An object is an instance of the class which have all the properties of that class. for eg, just think the whole police department is a class. the police dept will have certain policies,rules,manners etc. a policeman is an object of that class. all policemen have to obey the same rules and manners which are adopted by the police dept. the methods are the actions taken by the department. it is done by the police man. so,just like that, the methods are invoked using objects.

Answer 8

one object its anything and method its a algorithm

Answer 9

if you can't find my answer then this is my answer

@Eijaz I just want to say that India is unseperable part of India no country including Pakistan and China can separate it with us.
And you are saying that the Kashmir parents are dying so it is not the mistake of army it is only the mistake of India .yeah you heard it right it is India's fault that we are letting some fucking separatists (algavadi netas) like Farukh Abdullah and Gilani to live in India
They should be locked in a room and should be killed by throwing stones over them.
It is the only fault of India :-( :-(
just give me your views about my answer

Answer 10

methods are member functions in Java and objects are used to access those methods

Answer 11

Consider an object like a tool you can get and use, and a method like an annoying operation that you have to do many times. you could use tools in your operations.

Answer 12

Thanks @komal for your Care and help

Answer 13

Objects are divided into two..... Attributes and method.

Methods are procedural components while attributes are data components.

Methods are used to manipulate the data components of an object

Answer 14

Basically, Class is a blueprint of Similiar type of Objects, Lets take an example of Human object Arvind. Arvind is a Object of class Human. He has Body parts and Internal Organs as well as he can perform some actions like running , jumping , eating etc. So Parts are the Attribute or Variables of Humans and Methods are The Actions or Functions they can perform. And all Humans including Arvind had both of them.

Answer 15

methods are the set of instructions which are executed on an object of a class whereas an object is an instance of a class.
method is equivalent to functions in c++

Answer 16

Object is to method as pencil is to writing.... Objects are things. Methods are actions, verbs

Answer 17

methods and objects both are the different .method is group of institutions and objects are the run time entity of class . by creating object of class we r calling methods
