ADT Methods

Each method in an ADT names and specifies an operation. The operation can be described by a function. Normally, an instance of the ADT data is one of the arguments to the function.

Examples of methods:

INSERT(x)

MEMBER(x)

SMALLEST( )

CREATE( ) --- A "constructor" does not use an instance of the ADT, but creates one.
