Study Notes
Methods in Programming
- A method is a block of code that performs a specific task and can be reused in a program.
Declaring a Method
- A method is declared by specifying the access level, return type, method name, and parameters in parentheses.
Math.pow(2, 3) in Java
- 'Math.pow(2, 3)' represents the method call to calculate the power of a number, where 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, returning the result of 2 cubed (2³).
Parentheses in Method Calling
- The parentheses () represent the parameter list when calling a method, which can be empty or contain one or more argument values.
Method Return Value
- When a method returns a value to the calling code, the value is passed back to the caller, which can then be stored in a variable, used in an expression, or simply ignored.
