Member Method (Corel Paradox and JavaScript Cross Reference Guide)

Also known as a Class Method.

A code routine that belongs to the class or an object instance (an instance of the class). Methods that belong to the class are called class methods or static methods. Methods that belong to an object instance are called instance methods, or simply methods.

When a method returns a value, it is a function method. When no value is returned (or void), it is a procedure method.

Methods frequently use method parameters to transfer data. When one object instance calls another object instance using a method with parameters, you call that messaging.

Corel Paradox:   Not Supported	JavaScript:  Not fully OOP as you can call the method outside of the class. Syntax Example: function Dog() { //Class variables here. this.prototype.bark = function() { //Class method code here. } }
