Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.7CP
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.
myMethod(7);
The parameter passed to the “myMethod()” is “7” which is of type “int”...

Method
Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have two or more methods having
same name, if their argument lists are different. Argument lists could differ in:
1. Number of parameters.
2. Data type of parameters.
3. Sequence of Data type of parameters.
Write different version of method sum() that display the sum of the values received as
parameter according to the following main method content:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
sum ( 10, 10 );
sum ( 10, 10, 10 );
sum ( 10.0, 10.0 );
sum ( 10, 10.0 );
sum ( 10.0, 10);
}
You have to define five functions with the specified types. Then, demonstrate the Argument
Promotion concept by reducing the number of method to two.
(2) True or False: Sometimes there are two or more possible matches for an invocation of a method, but the compiler cannot determine the most specific match. Ambiguous invocation causes a compilation error.
True
False

- C# Programming What is the wrong of this code? Can you fix the error on this part? See attached photo for referencearrow_forwardTo write an application that uses recursion to solve a problem. Details: Create a class called Power that computes the value of base exponent. The class should have one recursive method: • public static int power(int base, int exponent) – Which computes the value of base exponent using recursion, returning the result. The recursion step should use the following relationship base exponent = base x base exponent - 1 and the termination condition should occur when exponent is equal to 1, because base 1 = base NOTE: For the power method, assume the exponent parameter value is always greater than 0. Create a second class called PowerTest that contains the main method, and tests the Power.power method. The test class does not need to ask for input from the user of the class, nor does it need to do any additional error checking. Upload both source files to Blackboard.
