Mondays & Wednesday 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm

3. Methods
<access modifier> <return type> <method name>(<parameters>){ }
Example:
private int getAge() {
return <something of int type>; }
The above method returns an int value and some int value should be returned.

4. Example : public static void doCalc() { body }
Since above method is of type “void” it does not return anything. Because it is “static” you can directly call it from anywhere using the class name it belongs to. If the class it belongs to is Calculations, it can be called by Calculations.doCalc(); .
