Methods, Variables, If

Methods are blocks of code that perform specific tasks. They are used to organize code into logical units and can return values. A method definition includes modifiers, return type, name, parameters, and body. Methods are called by using the object reference and name. Parameters pass arguments to methods. Local variables exist only within a method while instance variables are accessible to all methods of an object. Control flow statements like if-else are used to conditionally execute code within methods.

• Methods are block of statements which


are used to do a specific task.
• Methods are generally used to divide a large
code into manageable chunks of codes.

1. Access/NonAccess Modifier
2. returnType
3. MethodName ( Parameter List)
4. {
5. //method body or statement block
6. }

public void go(int x)
{
System.out.println(x);

Method Return Type
• It May be possible that a method returns a value
or doesn’t returns any value.
Return type of a method is nothing but the data
type of the value returned by the method.
e.g.
 If method returns an integer value then it’s return
type will be ‘int’, for float ‘float’, for character
‘char’, for boolean ‘boolean’ and so on.
 If a method doesn’t returns any value then it’s
return type will be “void”.
• If a method returns a value then the last
statement should be a “return statement”
• Any code after return statement is not reachable

Parameter List
• Method Parameters are the variables which
are declared in the declaration of method.
e.g.
public int go(int x) {}
• The method parameters can be nothing, one
or more than one. For multiple parameters
they are separated by comma.
e.g.
Public int go (int x, float y, String s, char c){ }

Method Body

• Body of a method starts from opening curly braces ‘{‘ and


ends at closing curly braces ‘}’.
• All statements of methods goes within the pair of curly
braces.
• Execution of method stops on either ‘return’ statement or
closing curly braces ‘}’.
e.g.
public int go(int x, int y)
{
Int sum = x + y;
Return sum;
}
But how to call a method???????
Instance variable Vs Local variable
Instance Variables Local Variable
1. Instance variables are those 1. Local variable are those
variables which are declared variables which are declared
within a class. within a method.
2. These are known as ‘instance 2. These are known as ‘Local
variables’ because each variable’ because they formed
instance of the class (object) within method and dies at the
have it’s own copy of instance end of the method
variable.
Accessing Object’s methods and
instance variables
• The methods and instance variables of any
object can be accessed by the help of dot
operator (.) on reference variable.
• referenceVariable.instanceVariable/method
e.g.
For class Animal having eat() method :
Animal a = new Animal();
a.eat();

Method Arguments and method
calling
• Arguments are the values which are passed
during calling of a method. These arguments are
stored in the parameters of the method.
• Number of arguments must be equal to the
number of parameters
• Calling a void method:
a.eat();
• Calling a single argument method:
a.eat(45);
• Calling a multiple argument method:
a.eat(343, 43, ‘c’, “wsfsf”);

Predefined Methods
• Predefined methods are those methods which are
already defined in java and ready to use.
• We can call these methods and can use in our code
directly.
e.g.
Math.random();
• Math.random() is a method defined in Math class
which is used to generate a random number between
o.o to .9 in double type
• Calling Math.random() :
Int x = (int) (Math.random() * 4);

//It will generate the number from 0 to 3

Method Calling Methods


• The method can call other methods in chain-like
pattern.
e.g.
Public class Test
{
public void firstMethod()
{
Test2 t = new Test2();
t.secondMethod(); // calling other method
}//end of method
}//end of class
IF, IF-Else, IF-Else-IF statements
• IF statement:
This is a decision making statement, which will execute it’s codes if and only if
the condition is true.
If(condition)
statement; // codes
• If-else statement:
In this the ‘else’ codes will be execute if and only if the condition is false.
If(condition)
statement; //codes
else
statement; // codes
• If-else-if :
This is combination of if-else statements.
If(condition)
Statements;
Else if (condition)
Statements
Else if (condition)
Statements; Way2Automation.com
Else
Statements;

• import java.util.*;

• {
• Test2 t = new Test2();
• Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //ignore
• System.out.println("enter a value");
• int input = scan.nextInt(); //ignore
• scan.close(); //ignore
• int randomNum = (int)(Math.random()* 10);
• if(input == randomNum)
• System.out.println("well done smarty");
• else
• t.looser();

• public void looser()


• {
• int looserNum = (int)(Math.random()*7);
• if (looserNum == 0)
• System.out.println("u r so stupid");
• else if (looserNum == 1)
• System.out.println("u r rediculus");
• else if (looserNum == 2)
• System.out.println("why r u on earth!!! go to venus");
• else if (looserNum == 3)
• System.out.println("u should be hanged out");
• else if (looserNum == 4)
• System.out.println(" don't dare to play it again");
• else
• System.out.println(" leave java now!!!");
• }
