Java Methods - Intro to Creating a Method - Java Programming Course - Appficial

A method in Java is a set of related Java statements to accomplish a task. Reasons for creating methods: - Improve program readability: don’t clutter your program with computation details - Independent modules from rest of the application: A programmer can focus on developing a method (module) independently of the other methods - Code reuse: Avoid duplicate code throughout your program – Math methods like pow() and abs() prevent a programmer from having to write a similar method You create methods by writing a method definition, which includes a method header and a block of statements. The method header includes method modifiers, the return type, the method name and parentheses. Methods must be defined within a class. A method call is when you execute the method. Methods are able to call other methods Subscribe to learn more Java!
