what is the difference between function and method in java?

[HARMLESS]

The method invocation takes an argument and the function also takes an argument so this really confuses,what exactly is the difference between them?

Harmless,
I haven't done much past the "Hello World" in JAVA; however, from the documentation I've read (working my way thru http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html) I've yet to see the term "function" used... in-fact, lurking in other site forums I get the distinct impression that the term function has no meaning in JAVA; is often only used by old programmers like myself and those that program in one of the C-languages such that it actually refers to method...

so in short.... (I may be wrong here so someone please correct me if I am):

The term "Function" has no meaning in JAVA and those that are kind Gurus to the language gently tut-tut and understand that the one intended to state method.
