Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5.1, Problem 5.2CP
Explanation of Solution
Methods:
A collection of statements which are formed together to perform an operation is called as methods.
- The main advantage of using method is reusability of code and reduces the size of the program, because a method can be called for multiple numbers of times.
Method header:
The method header is the part of the method definition which holds the modifier, return type of the method, method name and the parameter list.
public static double findArea(double a, double b)
In the above example, the method “findArea()” holds the return type double and the parameters “a” and “b” and should not have a semicolon at the end.
Method call:
The statement which causes the method to execute is referred as method call...

- In C#, how would you write (2) programmer defined methods as described below: Method #1 (GreetingGeneric) — a type void programmer defined method does not require any parameters. It should output a generic greeting line for a letter. For example: "Dear Customer", "Dear Student", etc. Method #2 (GradeMessage) — a type void programmer defined method that has (3) parameters; (string, string, double) for (name, assignment, and grade) and should output the passed parameters in sentence format: GradeMessage("Jimmy", "Midterm Exam", 79.5) would output: Jimmy took the Midterm Exam and got 79.5 points. The Main() method for this program should: call Method #1 to output the generic greeting ask the user to enter a name, assignment, and grade and pass them to Method #2 for output. Input should only be done in the Main() method and output in the programmer-defined methods.arrow_forwardNeed java Programarrow_forwardQ.

- Ag 1- Random Prime Generator Add a new method to the Primes class called genRandPrime. It should take as input two int values: 1owerBound and upperBound. It should return a random prime number in between TowerBound (inclusive) and upperBound (exclusive) values. Test the functionality inside the main method. Implementation steps: a) Start by adding the method header. Remember to start with public static keywords, then the return type, method name, formal parameter list in parenthesis, and open brace. The return type will be int. We will have two formal parameters, so separate those by a comma. b) Now, add the method body code that generates a random prime number in the specified range. The simplest way to do this is to just keep trying different random numbers in the range, until we get one that is a prime. So, generate a random int using: int randNum = lowerBound + gen.nextInt(upperBound); Then enter put a while loop that will keep going while randNum is not a prime number - you can…arrow_forwardOverriding a method differers from overloading a method because: a) Overloaded methods have the same signature b) Overridden methods have the same signature c) Both d) Neitherarrow_forwardList the name of this method and the name and type of its parameter:public void setCredits(int creditValue){ credits = creditValue;}arrow_forward
