behaviors associated with an object.
3.2|] [ X1| X1.1] [ IE|||] Standards Details: NA Required? No Description: This attribute should specify methods to be used in accessing the destination, as a whitespace-separated list of names. For similar reasons as for the TITLE attribute, it may be useful to include the information in advance in the link. For example, the browser may choose a different rendering display (possibly a special icon) for a destination that is searchable. None of the popular browsers ever implemented this attribute and it has since disappeared from the HTML 3.2 recommendation. Values: The set of applicable names is a function of the protocol scheme of the URL in the HREF attribute.
The segments of program code, or functions, tied to an object.
class's methods typically contain the code that understands and manipulates an object state. Some classes have public fields for programmers to manipulate directly, but in most cases this isn't a very good idea." 6 Methods implement an objects's outward behavior.
are functions assigned to an object. After a function is assigned, it can be called as a method of that object. For example, in the following code, clear becomes a method of the controller object: function reset(){ this.x_pos = 0; this.x_pos = 0; } controller.clear = reset; controller.clear();
Method is the term used in many object oriented programming languages to describe what in functional programming languages would be called a function or procedure. Java is one of those object oriented programming language. Programming in Java is concerned with creating Objects. Java Objects consist of variables and methods to manipulate the variables. Although Java Objects can expose variables to an application, most Java Objects require that the application call a method to extract information from or otherwise manipulate the variables of an Object.
Also called procedures. A term loosely taken from object-oriented programming and meant to imply a piece of reusable code for performing a specific task.
Components of an object type that are functions or procedures written in PL/SQL and stored in the database or written in a language like C and stored externally. Methods implement specific operations that an application can perform on the data. See Oracle8i Concepts for more information.
