In the C# specification (the official definition of the language), the following are defined as function members:

1. Methods

2. Properties

3. Events

4. Indexers

5. User-defined operators

6. Instance constructors

7. Static constructors

8. Destructors

So, in the context of C#, the correct answer is that a method is a type of function member.

More generally in object oriented programming, a method is a sub-routine which is a member of a class whereas a function is a sub-routine which is not a member of a class.

I think, only difference is Function always return value. Which is not with Method.

A method is a code block that contains a series of statements. A program causes the statements to be executed by calling the method and specifying any required method arguments.

A function allows you to encapsulate a piece of code and call it from other parts of your code. You may very soon run into a situation where you need to repeat a piece of code, from multiple places, and this is where functions come in. In C#, they are basically declared like this:
```
  () {  }
```

Hi,
Both are same, there is no difference its just a different term for the same thing in C#.
In object-oriented programming, a method is a subroutine (or procedure or function) associated with a class.
With respect to Object Oriented programming the term "Method" is used, not fuctions.
