1
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:05,680
Hey, long time no see, it's it's been a while, but I'm glad you're back and I'm I'm glad you're still

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,240
hanging in there, trust me.

3
00:00:07,270 --> 00:00:11,710
Thinks things are going to get a lot more fun once we actually start building applications.

4
00:00:11,710 --> 00:00:13,810
But we do have to go through the basics.

5
00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:15,000
So hang in there.

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:23,080
Now, you may have heard me mention methods and functions before, and I briefly touched on the subject.

7
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:23,410
Right.

8
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:27,700
We have functions like list print.

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,980
We have things like Max, man, what else do we have?

10
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:34,060
We have input.

11
00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:37,840
These are all built in functions in Python.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,840
Python just comes with this and we're able to use them.

13
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:47,110
And we also learned about functions that we can create ourselves custom functions like, well, some

14
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:48,370
random.

15
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:55,930
Stuff and I just created a function that does absolutely nothing I can just pass through.

16
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:05,550
And these are all functions, because the way we call them is, well, we say some random stuff and

17
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:09,870
then we call it with the brackets and give it some sort of data or leave it empty.

18
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:18,840
But we also learned about methods and methods were different because the way we used them was using

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,150
the dot notation, we said dot something.

20
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:23,640
For example, if we had a string.

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,210
Hello?

22
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:36,660
And I do Dot, I get a list of all these methods that the string data type can use, these aren't things

23
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:42,450
that we can use like this, because if I do capitalize.

24
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Like this, well, it's going to give me an air, it's going to say.

25
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,670
Well, I'm going to get in there with Max because it's expecting an argument here, but let's comment

26
00:01:56,670 --> 00:01:59,160
this out and click run again.

27
00:02:00,190 --> 00:02:08,230
I get name capitals is not defined because it's not a function, it's a method, and then method has

28
00:02:08,230 --> 00:02:09,880
to be owned by something.

29
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,250
And who owns a method?

30
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:17,050
Well, whatever is to the left of the DOT, in our case, the string.

31
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,950
Owns the method capitalized.

32
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:31,770
And that's what methods are there, builtin objects that have methods such as string's dictionaries,

33
00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:39,600
sets, tuples, all the things we've talked about, where as soon as we do DOT, we have access to all

34
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,260
these methods.

35
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:44,570
They're owned by an object or a data type.

36
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:50,850
And the funny thing is that there's ways to build your own methods.

37
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:53,110
And I'll show you how to do that later on.

38
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:59,100
And when we start talking about classes, but you can see here the our editors help us determine what

39
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,700
type of methods that we can use.

40
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:03,620
And again, these are built into Python.

41
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:11,340
And you can also learn about these methods that we can use by going to the Python documentation.

42
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:11,550
Right.

43
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:17,280
Python three documentation is going to have a ton of things for us.

44
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,690
If we go to library reference, for example, we can see here that we can learn about built in types.

45
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:25,860
So let's go to let's go to the set types.

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,490
And here you can see that we have set type and it shows us how we can use it.

47
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:37,020
Now, Python doesn't have the easiest documentation to read for beginners, unfortunately.

48
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:44,280
So sometimes it's better to actually just Google instead of going through the actual documentation.

49
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:50,910
But you see here that the set type has clear has pop has removed.

50
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,620
If we want to use it, we have update and these are the methods that we can use.

51
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:05,830
But at the end of the day, both methods and functions allow us to take actions, right, to take actions

52
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:09,220
on our data types, to have our programs do something.

53
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,160
And although they have these different names and one has a dot in front of it and another one, while

54
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,510
we can just call it like this.

55
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:19,260
The difference is very minimal.

56
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:20,560
But keep that in mind.

57
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,520
When you hear people talking about methods and functions, there is that difference.

58
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:29,650
And like I said before, we will get to methods when we talk about classes to show you how we can create

59
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:30,250
our own.

60
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,720
I'll see in the next one.
