Defining methods for a struct

V allows us to define methods for a struct. A method is a function with a special receiver argument that appears between fn and the method name. They allow us to add functions to a struct in a convenient manner. Methods are the kind of functions that access the properties of the struct to perform some routine. To define a method for a struct, follow the syntax shown here:

fn (r RECEIVER_TYPE) METHOD_NAME(OPTIONAL_INPUT_ARGUMENTS) RETURN_TYPE {
        METHOD BODY
}

In the preceding syntax, the RECEIVER_TYPE indicates the name of the struct to which the method belongs. If you are familiar with the C# programming language, this feature is similar to the concept of extension methods in C#. During runtime, the methods of a struct have access to the values held by the fields of the struct. Therefore, the methods help to evaluate logic or perform desired operations with the struct fields.
