What is a method

A collection of multiple processes and named as one process.

Benefits of using the method

-Since it is described in functional units, the range of correction can be limited. ・ The visibility of the program will be improved and it will be easier to understand the whole. -Working efficiency is improved by combining the same processing into one method.

Method definition

`python`


public static return type method name(argument){
Specific processing to be executed when the method is called
}
//The return type describes the data type of the value of the result of processing in the method. If the processing result is a numerical value, int,If it is a character string, it will be a String.

//Method call
Method name(argument); //The return value is not available.

What is an argument

You can pass a value from the caller when calling the method.

`python`


public static void main(String[] arg) {
  hello("Yamamoto"); //helloメソッドを呼び出している。Yamamotoという文字列のデータを(Actual argument)Is passed to the hello method.
  hello("Suzuki");
  hello("Kitamura");
}

public static void hello(String name) { //When calling a method, Yamamoto assigns it to the Ring type variable name as a formal argument.
  System.out.println(name + "Hi,");　//The data assigned to the variable name is output here.
}
//Execution result
Mr. Yamamoto, Hello
Suzuki, Hello
Kitamura, Hello//Becomes


//When there are multiple arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
  add(100,20); //Execution result x+ y = 120
  add(200,50); //Execution result x+ y = 250
}
//Add method that accepts multiple values
public static void add(int x, int y) {
  int ans = x + y;
  System.out.println(x + "+" + y + "=" + ans);
}

What is the return value?

The value (data) returned from the called method to the calling method is called the return value or return value.

`python`


return Return value; //This will allow you to return a value to the calling method.
//This return value is the execution result of the method.
