A function (also might be referenced to as method in the context of an object) is a subset of an algorithm that is logically separated and reusable. It can return nothing (void) or return either a built-in data type or a custom data type. It can also have no parameters or any number of parameters.

  • Function represents any function:
void function() {}
int anotherFunction(int positional, {String named}) {}


Function example = function; // works
example = anotherFunction; // works too
  • Function() represents a function with no parameter:
void function() {}
int anotherFunction(int positional, {String named}) {}


Function() example = function; // works
example = anotherFunction; // doesn't compile. anotherFunction has parameters

A variant of Function() could be:

void Function() example;

Similarly, we can specify parameters for our function:

void function() {}
int anotherFunction(int positional, {String named}) {}

int Function(int, {String named}) example;

example = function; // Doesn't work, function doesn't match the type defined
example = anotherFunction; // works
