Actually, you may have guessed the answer: the special thing about methods is Actually, you may have guessed the answer: the special thing about methods is
that the object is passed as the first argument of the function. In our that the instance object is passed as the first argument of the function. In our
example, the call ``x.f()`` is exactly equivalent to ``MyClass.f(x)``. In example, the call ``x.f()`` is exactly equivalent to ``MyClass.f(x)``. In
general, calling a method with a list of *n* arguments is equivalent to calling general, calling a method with a list of *n* arguments is equivalent to calling
the corresponding function with an argument list that is created by inserting the corresponding function with an argument list that is created by inserting
the method's object before the first argument. the method's instance object before the first argument.
