Predefined METHOD USER-DEFINED METHOD

❖ Built in method in Java that are readily ❖ Methods define by a programmer

available for use
 METHOD

Predefined METHOD USER-DEFINED METHOD

❖ Built in method in Java that are readily ❖ Methods define by the programmer
available for use
❖ Example :
➢ next() – defined in Scanner class
➢ sqrt () – define in Math class
➢ pow () – define in Math class
➢ print () – define in java.io.PrintStream

* Programmers like you, can just use

them without learning their method
definition

Predefined METHOD USER-DEFINED METHOD

❖ Built in method in Java that are readily ❖ Methods define by the programmer
available for use
❖ Example :
➢ next() – defined in Scanner class
➢ sqrt () – define in Math class Static Method Non-Static Method
➢ pow () – define in Math class NOT IN YOUR SYLLABUS
➢ print () – define in java.io.PrintStream

* Programmers like you can just use

them without learning their method

2 types of User- Defined
Method

Method without a return Method with a return value

value (void) (int, double, float, boolean, char, String)
Based on previous example : 2 terms that you have to know
Calculate and display the multiplication of a and b, c and d, e and f, and h and g.
(Given the value of a = 10, b =5, c = 100, d = 5, e = 100, f = 50, g = 9, h =50)

class UserDefineMethod{//start of class

public static void main(String []args){//start of main

multiply(10,5);
multiply(100,5);
multiply(100,50);
multiply(9,50);
}//end of main

static void multiply (int a, int b){//start of method

System.out.println(a*b);
}//end of method
}//end of class

• User-defined methods must be defined inside a class, and outside main() method.
