Why isn't a method (incuding its every single instruction)

>>62160970
Because it's just a block of code that's executed.
You can't create instances of it, it doesn't have state etc.

>why isn't behavior a tangible thing?

>>62160970
language?

>>62160970
It is in JavaScript. Kind of.

Sure they can. If you smoke a bit of the OOP kush your Executors, Services and Strategies are what you want.

An object is a self-contained set of stored values that can be duplicated, passed around, accessed publicly to a certain extent and acted on using methods specific to that object.
While you can duplicate and pass around a function/method, you can't store data in them, you can't modify them (in most languages), and you can't access specific data in them if it isn't returned.

It can be.

Closures?

>you can't modify them (in most languages)
In some you can, though.

Immutable objects exist, as well as private object members too.

>>62160970
depends on the language. js has it, java sort of has it, others have it too

>>62160970
And what would be the use case for that?

>>62162438
You can pass a callback function bound to the object, for example.

>>62162446
Just use a closure.

>what are delegates

physicsfag please go

It can be in a language with reflection

If free standing functions exist in the language, sure.
