A method is a block of code that performs a specific task.
Structure of the Method
public returnType methodName(parameterType parameterName) {
// Method body (code to be executed)
}
Let's break down this
public: public is the Access Modifier. Whether you want to show it to the other or not. So here 'public' means that you want to show it to others. There are different types of Access Modifiers e.g., public, private, protected.
returnType: It is what the method will return. If the method does not return anything then you type void.
methodName: This is the name you give to the method, which should be descriptive of what the method does.
In method 3("named as multiply") we assign the parameters in the parentheses after the method name because we want input from the users.
