Why Create Methods?

Specifically: why do you create methods in the header file and once you have how do you implement it in the implementation file.

Oversimplifying things a bit, Objective-C is based on C which required such two things done: The header file defines what methods are (including what type of parameters it accepts), while the implementation file is where you explicitly define what the method does .

Thanks but I needed to simplify the question to get a simple answer. I just understand it better asking the things I don't know.
