The Fission Theory: This theory proposes that the Moon was once part of the Earth and somehow separated from the Earth early in the history of the solar system.
When you actually use that class to make a THING, this is what you make. A method is a bit of code that can be called when needed (often as part of an class, but not always) Here's an example: I write a class called Ball. In my main code, I then write a=Ball.new, b=Ball.new, c=Ball.new.
In the context you state (Newton's method, etc.) there is no essential difference between an algorithm and a method. Both are sets step-by-step instructions for solving a problem.n computer science an algorithm still is a step-by-step manner towards solving a problem-an implementation-agnostic set of steps. A method commonly refers to a chunk of code associated with a class or object that does some task-it can implement many algorithms potentially. share | improve this answer.
