They are really just terms for the same thing, but...

Pascal makes the following distinction:

A function returns a value, and does not alter the parameters (if any) -- x = ABS(y)

A procedure does not return a value, but does alter the parameters -- CLOSE(f)


C (and its descendants) don't really make that distinction, so a function may alter the parameter and return a value -- e = CLOSE(f)


** Although allowed by the language, many practitioners frown on "functions" that have "side-effects", regardless of the language in use. **


With Object Oriented Programming, functions that are part of a class (or struct) are called methods.

Unlike C++, C# enforces OOP so all functions must be part of a class, and are therefore methods.

If you choose, you may write methods that conform to the above definition of "function" or "procedure"
Likewise, in C# some methods are properties, some are indexers, etc.
