As it happens sin() and cos() are also functions. A function has another property: all calls to a function with the same parameters, should return the same result. A method, on the other hand, is a function that is related to an object in an object-oriented language. It has one implicit parameter: the object being acted upon (and it's state).
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.
