I'm not really understanding what a function is. From what I've gathered, it's the equivalent of a method in Java? I'm not a long time practioner in both of these languages, I'm actually learning them at the same time, so forgive me if my terminology is incorrect.

Yes you are right. Method in Java and functions in C++ are similar.

The only difference between a method and a function is that sometime one needs to declare a prototype for a function, whereas there is no such need for a prototype in Java. Other than that, they are a language-particular means of identifying an independent section of code.
