Functions
Arguments/Parameters
Function arguments, also known as parameters, are inputs passed to a function, enabling it to operate on specific data, which can be categorized as pass by reference or pass by value.
Function visibility
Protected
Protected visibility restricts access to a function solely to the class where it's defined or to its subclasses, allowing usage within the defining class and any inheriting classes.
Private
Private visibility limits access to a function solely to the class where it's defined, preventing usage by any inheriting classes, unlike protected functions which can be accessed by subclasses.
Public
Public visibility means that a function can be accessed both within the source code or class where it's defined and from external source files, classes, and applications, with this being the default visibility for most programming languages.
Classes
Method
A method in programming is a function or procedure that exists within a class, providing behavior and functionality to objects instantiated from that class.
class is a feature of object-oriented programming that allows
a programmer to group together related functions and variables in one place.
