Method Definitions, revisited

• Method definitions

method-modifier

return-type method-name( parameter-list )

{

statement-list

}

• Possible method-modifiers are:

  
  
  public
  private
  static
  others later
  

• A private method is not visible from outside the class definition.

• A static method is also called a class method.

• A class method is invoked on the class, not on an object of the class, e.g.,

class-name.method-name(expression-list)
