in that method, but a variable which declared as a instance [non static variable] then
it can be

Instance Methods:
The methods which are define with in class without static modifier.

 Every instance method must be referred by an object reference in static context


of the same class

 Every instance method must be referred by an Object reference in


static or non static context of outside of the class

 Instance methods can perform the operation on both static and non static
variables | fields

These methods are classified into 2 types


1.Mutable Methods
> The methods which are used to change the values of the fields are called mutable
methods or setter

2.Immutable Methods
> The methods which doesn’t change the value of the fields or
The methods which are used read the values from the fields called immutable
methods or getter methods or inspectors

class Test
{
int x,y; //instance field non static

void setData( ) //non static mtd


{ x=111; y=222; }

void getData()
{ System.out.println("x is : "+x);
System.out.println("y is : "+y); }

Java

public static void main(String args[])


{ Test t=new Test( );
t.setData( );
t.getData( );
}
}

Eg 2:
class Biggest
{
int x,y; //instance field

void setData(int a,int b) //a,b are formal parameters


{ x=a; y=b; }

void findBiggest()
{ if (x>y)
{ System.out.println("biggest is : "+x); }
else
{ System.out.println("biggest is : "+y); }
}

public static void main(String args[ ])


{ Biggest b=new Biggest( );
b.setData(120,20);
b.findBiggest( );

}
}

Eg 3:
class Student
{
int m1,m2,m3; //instance fields

void setStudent(int a,int b,int c) //instance mtd


{ m1=a; m2=b; m3=c; }

void getStudent()
{ System.out.println("M1 : "+m1);
System.out.println("M2 : "+m2);
System.out.println("M3 : "+m3); }

boolean findResult() //instance mtd


{
if(m1>34 && m2>34 && m3>34)
{ return true; }
else
{ return false; }
}

public static void main(String args[])


{ Student s=new Student( );
s.setStudent(80,60,50);
s.getStudent( );

if(s.findResult( )) // here s.findResult() -> returns either true or false


System.out.println("Pass");
else
System.out.println("Fail");

}
