Instance Method

An instance method is a function that belongs to a specific object created from a class in programming. Think of a class as a blueprint, and each object (or instance) created from that blueprint has its own set of data. An instance method operates on that specific object's data, allowing you to perform actions or retrieve information related to that particular instance. For example, in a class representing a car, an instance method might be used to start the engine of a specific car object. It requires a particular object to function and can access or modify that object's unique data.
