Introduction
the method in Java is a collection of
instructions that performs a specific task.
It provides the reusability of code. We can
also easily modify code using methods.
A method is a block of code or collection of
statements or a set of code grouped together
to perform a certain task or operation.
Cont..
It is used to achieve the reusability of code.
We write a method once and use it many
times. We do not require to write code again
and again.
Method Declaration
Types of Method
There are two types of methods in Java:
Predefined Method
User-defined Method
Predefined Method
In Java, predefined methods are the method that is
already defined in the Java class libraries is known as
predefined methods.
It is also known as the standard library
method or built-in method.
We can directly use these methods just by calling
them in the program at any point.
Some pre-defined methods are length(), equals(),
compareTo(), sqrt(), etc.
Example
public class Demo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// using the max() method of Math class
[Link]("The maximum number is: "
+ [Link](9,7));
}
}
User-defined Method
The method written by the user or
programmer is known as a user-
defined method.
These methods are modified according to the
requirement.
Example
public static void findEvenOdd(int num)
{
//method body
if(num%2==0)
[Link](num+" is even");
else
[Link](num+" is odd");
}
Assignment
Explain Methods in java and their types with
suitable example.
