    Study Notes

    Method Signature and Parameters

    • Method signature is the combination of method name and parameter list.
    • Formal parameters in a method are the parameters declared in the method definition.
    • Actual parameters in a method are the values passed to the method when it is invoked.

    Method Modifier and Return Value

    • The method modifier in Java specifies the access level of the method.
    • When a method does not return a value, the return value type is void.

    Purpose and Role of Defining Methods

    • Defining methods allows for code reuse and organization.
    • Formal parameters play a crucial role in defining methods by allowing for flexibility and customization.

    Method Overloading

    • Method overloading allows for the creation of multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists.
    • A potential consequence to be aware of is ambiguity, where the incorrect method may be called.

    Passing Arguments

    • Passing arguments by value in Java means that changes made to the parameter inside the method do not affect the original argument.
    • This concept is essential for maintaining data integrity and preventing unintended side effects.

    Method Abstraction and Scope

    • Method abstraction is the process of hiding the implementation details of a method and only providing the essential information to the user.
    • The scope of variables in a method refers to the visibility and accessibility of those variables within the method.

    Key Facts

    • A method with a return value type of void cannot return a value.
    • When a method is invoked, you pass a value to the parameter, which is referred to as an actual parameter.
    • Java methods can have both formal parameters and a return value.
