 # Section 1 / Calling and Returning From Functions
 
-Calling functions, passing parameters to them and receiving back return values is basic to using `C` and and `C++`. Calling methods (which are functions connected to classes) is similar but with enough differences to warrant its own discussion to be provided later in the chapter on [structs](../struct/structs.md).

 ## Bottom Line Concept
