FAQ

Can you remind me what methods are?
Methods are containers for our code that can be executed (called) from other parts of our code. Methods are contained within a class.
Like the last, I found this chapter really hard. Do I need to reread it?
No, as long as you've built the app, you have made enough progress to handle the next chapter. All the blanks in our knowledge will be steadily filled in and replaced with glorious moments of realization as the book progresses.
