M6 Slides Java

The document discusses methods and data passing in programming. It provides examples of defining methods with different parameters, calling methods from a main function, and overloading methods. Key points include: - Methods allow breaking programs into reusable chunks of code to perform tasks. - Methods are defined with a signature specifying their name and parameters. - Methods can be called from a main function or other methods, perform a task, and return data. - The same method name can be overloaded to support different parameters.

METHODS AND DATA PASSING

03/06/2021 CSE 1321 MODULE 5 1


Why have functions?
CREATE average, userNum1, userNum2
PRINT (“Please enter the 2 numbers”)
READ userNum1
READ userNum2

average = (userNum1 + userNum2) / 2


// a lot of other code
READ userNum1
READ userNum2
average = (userNum1 + userNum2) / 2
// more code here, then

READ userNum1
READ userNum2
average = (userNum1 + userNum2) / 2
Header/Body Example
// Header is top line
public static int Sum(int num1, int num2)

{ // Begin the body

int sum = 0;
for(int i = num1; i <= num2; i++)
{
sum += i;
}
return sum;

} // End the body

Method Signature
// Signature is Sum (int num1, int num2)
public static int Sum(int num1, int num2)
{
int sum = 0;
for(int i = num1; i <= num2; i++)
{
sum += i;
}
return sum;
}

Example
(main wakes back up; average sleeps)
class MyClass {
public static void main (String args[ ])
{
int num1, num2, num3;
double result1, result2;
num1 = 5; num2 = 7; num3 = 4;
result1 = average (num1, num2); // 6 sleep
result2 = average (num3, num1); // 4.5
} x y
}
num1 num2 num3
double average (int x, int y) {
5 7 4 return ( (x+y) / 2);
result1 result2 }
6 4.5
Another Quick Example
(function falls asleep; main awake)
class MyClass {
public static void main (String args[ ])
5
{
int num1, num2, num3;
num1 = 5; num2 = 7; num3 = 4;
printNum (num1);
}
}
myNum

num1 num2 num3


void printNum (int myNum) {
5 7 4 PRINT (myNum);
}
Psuedocode - A Bad Solution
(where is the repeated code?) Ps
sum ← 0
FOR (i ← 1 i <= 10 i ← i+1)
sum ← sum + i
ENDFOR
PRINT("Sum from 1 to 10 is “, sum)

sum ← 0
FOR (int i ← 20 i <= 30 i ← i+1)
sum ← sum + i
ENDFOR
PRINT("Sum from 20 to 30 is “, sum)

sum ← 0
for (int i ← 35 i <= 45 i ← i+1)
sum ← sum + i
ENDFOR
PRINT("Sum from 35 to 45 is “, sum)
03/06/2021 CSE 1321 MODULE 5 7
METHOD MAIN
BEGIN
CREATE result ← SUM(arguments: 1,10)
Ps
PRINT("Sum from 1 to 10 is:”, result)

result ← SUM(arguments: 20,30)


PRINT("Sum from 20 to 30 is:”, result)

result ← SUM(arguments: 35,45)


PRINT("Sum from 35 to 45 is:”, result)
END MAIN

METHOD SUM(parameters: num1, num2)


BEGIN
CREATE sum ← 0
FOR (i ← num1, i <= num2, i ← i+1 )
sum ← sum + i
ENDFOR
RETURN sum
END SUM

Java Example – Method Sum
public static int Sum(int num1, int num2)
{
int sum = 0;
for(int i = num1; i <= num2; i++)
{
sum += i;
}
return sum;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int result = Sum(1, 10);
System.out.println("Sum from 1 to 10 is " + result);
result = Sum(20, 30);
System.out.println("Sum from 20 to 30 is " + result);
result = Sum(35, 45);
System.out.println("Sum from 35 to 45 is " + result);
}

Psuedocode - Method Max Ps
METHOD MAIN
BEGIN
CREATE i ← 5
CREATE j ← 2
CREATE k ← max(i, j)
PRINT("The maximum of ", i , " and ” , j ," is ", k)
END MAIN

METHOD MAX(parameters: num1, num2)


BEGIN
CREATE result
if (num1 > num2)
result ← num1
else
result ← num2

RETURN result
END MAX

Java – Method Max

}
public static int max(int num1, int num2)
{
int result;

else
