Fix #3761 false about C

[maxmosk]

There are not any methods in C

While true, you can use the -> modifier in C to access members in a struct on a pointer.
The arrow is just syntactic sugar. You could always write (*struct).member instead of struct->member

Yes, but you can't call method in C anyway. Maybe better to rewrite all about ->?

Yeah, I completely agree - talking about methods while mentioning C is wrong.
I think C should be mentioned in the paragraph though and it should be rewritten imo.

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!

@chriskrycho Calling functions methods is still wrong at that point though.
