This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/mathematics/area-of-a-parallelogram/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>. In object oriented programming a function within a class or an object is named a method. Imagine you have a cat object and inside the class there is a funcion named scratch, you can now use the cat's scratch method by calling it in the following way:
```py
cat.scratch(somePerson)
```
