Introduction
the method in Java is a collection of
instructions that performs a specific task.

It provides the reusability of code. We can


also easily modify code using methods.

A method is a block of code or collection of


statements or a set of code grouped together
to perform a certain task or operation.

Cont..
It is used to achieve the reusability of code.

We write a method once and use it many


times. We do not require to write code again
and again.
Method Declaration
Types of Method
There are two types of methods in Java:

Predefined Method

User-defined Method
Predefined Method
In Java, predefined methods are the method that is
already defined in the Java class libraries is known as
predefined methods.

 It is also known as the standard library


method or built-in method.

We can directly use these methods just by calling


them in the program at any point.

Some pre-defined methods are length(), equals(),


compareTo(), sqrt(), etc.
Example
public class Demo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// using the max() method of Math class
System.out.print("The maximum number is: "
+ Math.max(9,7));
}
}
User-defined Method
The method written by the user or
programmer is known as a user-
defined method.

These methods are modified according to the


requirement.
Example
public static void findEvenOdd(int num)
{
//method body
if(num%2==0)
System.out.println(num+" is even");
else
System.out.println(num+" is odd");
}
Assignment
Explain Methods in java and their types with
suitable example.
