Example: Box Demo4 Example: Box Demo5

The document describes adding a method that takes parameters to a Box class. A Box class is defined with width, height, and depth variables. A volume() method calculates and returns the volume of a box based on these variables. A setDim() method is then added that takes width, height, and depth as parameters and assigns them to the corresponding variables, allowing the dimensions of a Box to be set via parameters rather than directly assigning variables. This is demonstrated by creating two Box objects, calling setDim() to initialize their dimensions, and then calling volume() to print the volume of each box.

• The following is the output of BoxDemo4:
Volume is 3000.0
Volume is 162.0
Adding a method that takes parameters

• While some methods don’t need parameters,


most do.
• Parameters allow a method to be generalized.
• That is, a parameterized method can operate
on a variety of data and/or be used in a
number of slightly different situations.

Adding a method that takes parameters
• setDim( ) method is used to set the dimensions of each
box.
• For example, when
mybox1.setDim(10, 20, 15);
is executed,
10 is copied into parameter w,
20 is copied into h,
15 is copied into d.
The values of w, h, and d are then assigned to width,
height, and depth, respectively.
