Methods in Java-

colleaction statements that perform specific action and return result.

Types of method -

1) main method-

syntax-

(acess modifier) (type of method) (return type)(name of method) (argument) {

//Body
}

ex-
public static void main (String[] args) {

2) regular method

a) static-
package methods;

public class Type1 {

//Static method
public static void method1() {

[Link]("This static method1");

public static void main(String[] args) {

method1();

}
o/p-
20

How to call the static method-

In same class we cam call static method diretly by method name.

Static method can accept the arguments.


ex-
package methods;
public class Type1 {

//Static method
public static void method1(int a, int b) {

int c=a+b;
[Link](c);
[Link]("This is static method1");

public static void main(String[] args) {

method1(100, 200);

}
o/p-
300
This is static method1

we can provide return type to method-


ex-
package methods;

public class Type1 {

//Static method
public static int addition(int a, int b) {

int c=a+b;

return c;

public static void main(String[] args) {

addition(10,10);

Variable with Static method-


1) Static variable in static method-
We can use static variable directly static mathod.
ex-
package methods;

public class Type1 {


static int y=10;

//Static method
public static void m1() {

[Link](y);

public static void main(String[] args) {

m1();

We can not use instance variable in static method directly, but by creating object
we can.
As java stated use of instance variable in static context is not recommended.

b) instance

//write a simple java program;

pass the value of local variable to static variable through method argument?

LOcal variable to static variable-
