Module 5: Methods and Parameters Overview Using Methods Using Parameters Using Overloaded Methods Using Methods Defining Methods Calling Methods Using the return Statement Using Local Variables Returning Values Defining Methods Main is a method Use the same syntax for defining your own methods Calling Methods After you define a method, you can: Call a method from within the same class Use method’s name followed by a parameter list in parentheses Call a method that is in a different class You must indicate to the compiler which class contains the method to call The called method must be declared with the public keyword Use nested calls Methods can call methods, which can call other methods, and so on Using the return Statement Immediate return Return with a conditional statement Using Local Variables Local variables Created when method begins Private to the method Destroyed on exit Shared variables Class variables are used for sharing Scope conflicts Compiler will not warn if local and class names clash Returning Values Declare the method with non-void type Add a return statement with an expression Sets the return value Returns to caller Non-void methods must return a value Using Parameters Declaring and Calling Parameters Mechanisms for Passing Parameters Pass by Value Pass by Reference Output Parameters Using Variable-Length Parameter Lists Guidelines for Passing Parameters Using Recursive Methods Declaring and Calling Parameters Declaring parameters Place between parentheses after method name Define type and name for each parameter Calling methods with parameters Supply a value for each parameter Mechanisms for Passing Parameters Three ways to pass parameters Pass by Value Default mechanism for passing parameters: Parameter value is copied Variable can be changed inside the method Has no effect on value outside the method Parameter must be of the same type or compatible type Pass by Reference What are reference parameters? A reference to memory location Using
