In [object orientation%|%object-oriented computing], a '''method''' is a function ([proc]) that is bound to a particular [object] (a [class] or [instance]). A method might be bound to an [object] when the object is created, or only when the method is invoked (late binding). [[method]] is a command usable inside [[[itcl::class]]] to create such methods. <> glossary | object orientation
