Methods
Note
A fact about methods: Almost all our code will be inside a method!
Clearly, methods are important. While this book will typically focus on the practical- getting-things-done aspect of programming it is also important to cover the necessary theory as well so that we can make fast progress and end up with a full understanding at the end.
Having said this, it is not necessary to master or memorize everything about method theory before moving on with the project. If something doesn't quite make sense, the most likely reason is that something else later in the book will make things come more in to focus.
Tip
Thoroughly read everything about methods but don't wait until you are 100% confident with everything in this section before moving on. The best way to master methods is to go ahead and use them.
