Potentially stupid question: When defining an object, what's the difference between using Function and Method? Thanks,

You call method using a single instance of the type, but you call function using the type itself.

A function can only affect Global variables in the type, not fields.

A function is a shared/static procedure in a class, while a method is a regular calss procedure. More info can be found here
