Method
A function that belongs to a type or instance
Core Idea
A method is a function attached to a type or instance. Unlike a free function, its signature exposes which data it works on through self, &self, or &mut self.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses methods to connect Rust struct design, state changes, and reference-aware signatures. They turn plain function reuse into the idea of data and behavior living together.
