{{Admon/note|Function vs. Method vs. Procedure|In procedural languages, called code blocks are often called '''functions'''. When programming in an object-oriented language, called code blocks may be called '''methods'''. Older or more general documentation may refer to called code blocks as '''procedures''', '''routines''', or '''subroutines'''. The distinction between functions, methods, procedures, routines, and procedures subroutines is effectively one of terminology and "packaging" only - at the [[Machine Language|machine code]] level, the distinction effectively disappears.}}
