Methods

Methods (known as functions in other coding languages) are blocks of code that someone can easily reuse.

There are two types of methods— instance methods and static methods.

Creating Methods

A method's syntax is this:

[access modifier] [return type] methodName(parameters) {
    [code]
}

Yes. I know this is confusing, especially if you've never touched programming before. Think of a method like a cookbook, for only one meal (only way it will make sense here).

A method's access modifier simply tells the code who can access this method. If it's a public , it's like a cookbook you'd find at a library. If it's private, it's a super secret cookbook whom the author decides can access it.

(method name's pretty obvious)

The parameters are like the ingredients you need to make the meal. If any of the parameters isn't filled out, the method won't run.

The return type is like the final result of the cookbook.
