+% Method Syntax
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> Methods are different from functions in that they’re defined within the context of a struct, and their first parameter is always `self`, which represents the instance of the struct the method is being called on.
+
+```rust
+# struct Rectangle {
+#     width: u32,
+#     height: u32,
+# }
+
+impl Rectangle {
+    fn area(&self) -> u32 {
+        self.width * self.height
+    }
+}
+```
