False statement about The C Programming Language

[Maxim Moskalets]

• I have searched open and closed issues and pull requests for duplicates, using these search terms:
  • C
  • C++
  • Method
• I have checked the latest main branch to see if this has already been fixed, in this file:
  • https://github.com/rust-lang/book/blob/3dca2fc50b922a8efb94903b9fee8bb42ab48f38/nostarch/chapter05.md

URL to the section(s) of the book with this problem:

Line 815 in 3dca2fc

 > In C and C++, two different operators are used for calling methods: you use 

Description of the problem:
There are no any methods in C, -> and . both can be used only for fields access.
Suggested fix:
Write True about this language. I can fix it.

While it is technically true that C does not have methods, you can absolutely store a function pointer on a struct in C and then call it using -> access. (There is a reason for C++’s use of that exact syntax. 😉) Closing this as the point here is not pedantic precision about C and C++ but rather getting the point across about how Rust differs from them. Thanks, though!
