What's the difference between method and synchronization?

Method


Definition:

  • (n.) An orderly procedure or process; regular manner of doing anything; hence, manner; way; mode; as, a method of teaching languages; a method of improving the mind.
  • (n.) Orderly arrangement, elucidation, development, or classification; clear and lucid exhibition; systematic arrangement peculiar to an individual.
  • (n.) Classification; a mode or system of classifying natural objects according to certain common characteristics; as, the method of Theophrastus; the method of Ray; the Linnaean method.

Synchronization


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of synchronizing; concurrence of events in respect to time.

Example Sentences:
