Chapter 6: Using Methods

TRUE/FALSE

1. A method cannot be used more than once within a program or in other programs.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 207

2. The three parts of a method are the method’s header, the method’s body, and the method’s return
statement.

3. In a flowchart, you draw the main() method and every other method separately with its own sentinel
symbols.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 208

4. The more the statements contribute to the same job, the less the functional cohesion of the method.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 211-212

5. In every object-oriented programming language, the variables and constants declared in any method
are usable anywhere within the program.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 213

8. Overloading a method is a good idea because it eliminates some programming work compared to
writing separate methods.

9. You should avoid overloading a method with the same argument data types because this will create an
ambiguous method that will not compile.

10. Most programming languages contain a variety of mathematical methods, such as those that compute a
square root or the absolute value of a number.
