Chapter 5, Problem 7AW
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.

True or False: During method calls, the value of a local variable is preserved.
T/F(If false, correct the statement to make it true) - A void method will return an int
value
A program contains the following value-returning method: private int Square(int value) { return value * value; } Write a statement that passes the value 10 as an argument to this method and assigns its return value to the variable result.

- C# Question Create a desktop application that allows the user to enter a maximum integer. The application should sum all the even integers from zero up to and including that maximum number if it is even. The sum should be displayed in the form. For example: For a maximum integer of 50 the sum is 650. For a maximum integer of 11 the sum is 30. The program should have a method named SumEvens that receives the maximum integer as an argument and returns the sum of the even numbers. The SumEvens method should use a for loop to calculate the sum of the even numbers.arrow_forwardRetail StoreSuppose you have been consulted by a retail shop around your area to build a simple calculator.
