Question
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.

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.
True or False: When passing multiple arguments to a method, the order in which the arguments are passed is not important.

In Chapter 2, you wrote an application that prompts the user for the number of guests attending an event, displays the company motto with a border, and then displays the price of the event and whether the event is a large one. Now modify the program so that the main() method contains only three executable statements that each call a method as follows: The first executable statement calls a public static int method that prompts the user for the number of guests and returns the value to the main() method. The second executable statement calls a public static void method that displays the company motto with the border. The last executable statement passes the number of guests to a public static void method that computes the price of the event, displays the price, and displays whether the event is a large event.

For example, the number 5 is prime because it can be evenly divided by only 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be evenly divided by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a Boolean method named IsPrime that takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number or false otherwise. Use the method in an application that lets the user enter a number and then displays a message indicating whether the number is prime.arrow_forward

The method should return true if the argument is even, or false otherwise. The program’s main method should use a loop to generate 100 random integers.
