Chapter 5, Problem 6AW
Program Plan Intro
Methods:
- The methods could be used to break a complex program into small pieces.
- The “void” method simply executes a statements group and then terminates.
- A value returning method would return a value to statement that has called it.
- While calling a method, program would branch to that method.
- It would then execute statements in its body.
- The values that are sent into a method are termed as “arguments”.
- A “parameter” denotes a special variable that holds a value that is being passed into a method.
- The “passed by value” means that only copy of a value of argument is been passed into parameter variable.
- A “local variable” is been declared inside a method, it is not accessible for statements outside method.
- A process in which a problem is been divided into smaller pieces is termed as “functional decomposition”.
Example:
Consider the example of method definition which is given below:
Public static void method()
{
Statement;
}
Here, “statement” denotes the body of method, that is to be executed when “method()” is been called.
Given code:
//Define a method display()
public static void display(int arg1 , double arg2, char arg3)
{
//Display values
System.out.println("The values are " + arg1 + " " + arg2 + ", and"+ arg3);
}
//Intialize variable
char initial = 'T';
//Intialize variable
int age = 25;
//Intialize variable
double income = 50000.00;
Explanation:
- Define a method “display()” to display the values of arguments provided to method.
- Display the values.
- Initialize values for variables “initial”, “age” and “income”.

- Retail StoreSuppose you have been consulted by a retail shop around your area to build a simple calculator. The calculator must be able to perform arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) on integers. The program receives an expression from the user. The expression is structured as follows: integer input followed by an operator and another integer input from user prior to displaying the final result. Write a Java application that can perform the above expression. Create a method that takes two parameters and performs an arithmetic operation on the passed values. Your final output should consist of the expression and the result.arrow_forwardThe Upper bound limit is 90, lower bound limit is -100.
