Introduction to Method in Java
Definition Purpose

A block of code that performs a specific task. Code reusability and organization.
•int[][] matrix = new int[3][4]; // 3 rows, 4 columns

Defining and Calling a Method


Syntax of Defining a Method
returnType methodName(parameterType parameterName) {
// method body
}
Syntax of Calling a Method
methodName(arguments);

Example
Public static int sub(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}

Public static void main(String [] args){


int result = sub(10,6);
}
•int[][] matrix = new int[3][4]; // 3 rows, 4 columns
•arrayName[rowIndex][columnIndex];

Method Parameters
Definition
Parameters are variables that allow you to pass information into methods.

Syntax
returnType methodName(parameterType parameterName) {
// method body
}

Example
Public static void printName(String name){
system.out.println(“Hello, ”+name);
}
Public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String name = scan.next();
printName(name);
}
•int[][] matrix = new int[3][4]; // 3 rows, 4 columns
•arrayName[rowIndex][columnIndex];

Return Types
Definition
The return type specifies what type of value a method will return after execution.

Common Return Types:


• void: No value is returned.
• Primitive types: int, double, char, etc.
• Reference types: String, Array, Object, etc.

Example
Public static boolen primeNum(int number){
int count=0;
for(int i=1 ; i<=number ; i++){
if(number%i == 0){
count++;
}
if(count>2){
return false;
}
Smallest Number Among Three
public static double smallestNum(double n1, double n2, double n3) {
if (n1 < n2 && n1 < n3) {
return n1;
} else if (n2 < n1 && n2 < n3) {
return n2;
} else {
return n3;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Three Numbers:");
double num1 = s.nextDouble();
double num2 = s.nextDouble();
double num3 = s.nextDouble();
double smallest = smallestNum(num1, num2, num3);
System.out.println("The smallest number is: " + smallest);
}
Count Words in String
public static int countWords(String str) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
if (str.charAt(i) == ' ') {
count++;
}
}
count = count + 1;
return count;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the sentence");
String sentence = s.nextLine();
int words = countWords(sentence);
System.out.println("the numbers or words are: " + words);
}
Class Activity
