Python里method和function的区别

首先来看他们的定义，

 

函数function —— A series of statements which returns some value to a caller. It can also be passed zero or more arguments which may be used in the execution of the body.

 

方法method —— A function which is defined inside a class body. If called as an attribute of an instance of that class, the method will get the instance object as its first argument (which is usually called self).

 

首先，从概念上去分。函数可以看成一个数学上的概念，比如说完成加减乘除的函数。它其实有一个内在的约束：就是如果参数相同，对一个函数的每次调用返回的结果应该始终一样。

 

而方法是要和对象联系起来的。而且它有一个银行的参数：就是它所作用的对象。而这些更多地是在面向对象的语境里来说。

 

而从Python的定义来看，它将method作为function的一种特例来处理了。但当你在文档里看到instance method object和function object的说法时，你应该了解他们的差异。

>>> class MyClass: i = 12345 def f(self): return "hello world" >>> x = MyClass() >>> x.f.__class__ <
