I'm not sure what you mean by methods of objects usually share a common state, or why you refer to this as a "functional approach".

I slightly edited the answer to express it more clearly. I haven't meant to refer to that as a "functional approach", I referred to the "Object oriented" paradigm. In object oriented programming, objects hold a state which is usually mutated by object's methods.Functional world is conceptually different where we try to avoid side effects.
