Java Methods Example: can use a primitive data type (such as

 myMethod() is the name of the int, char, etc.) instead of void, and use
method the return keyword inside the method.
 static means that the method
belongs to the Main class and not public class Main {
an object of the Main class. You static int myMethod(int x) {
will learn more about objects and return 5 + x;
how to access methods through }
objects later in this tutorial. public static void main(String[] args) {
 void means that this method [Link](myMethod(3
does not have a return value. You ));
will learn more about return }
values later in this chapter }
// Outputs 8 (5 + 3)
Call A Method in Java, write the
method's name followed by two Java Method Overloading
parentheses () and With method overloading, multiple
a semicolon; methods can have the same name with
different parameters.
public class Main {
static void myMethod() {
[Link]("I just got static int plusMethodInt(int x, int y) {
executed!"); return x + y;
} }
public static void main(String[] args) { static double plusMethodDouble(double
myMethod(); x, double y) {
} return x + y;
} }
// Outputs "I just got executed!" public static void main(String[] args) {

} Java For Loop Real-Life Examples
static double exponent(double base, 1. To demonstrate a practical example
double exp){ of the for loop, let's create a program
double result = [Link](base, that counts to 100 by tens:
exp); for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i += 10) {
return result; [Link](i);
} }
} [Link] this example, we create a program
//Output: that only print even values between 0
Hello World and 10:
sum of two integers: 11 for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i = i + 2) {
sum of two double: 12.7 [Link](i);
The exponent is 32.0 }
[Link] in this example, we create a
Java Conditions and If Statements program that prints the multiplication
Less than: a < b table for a specified number:
Less than or equal to: a <= b int number = 2;
Greater than: a > b // Print the multiplication table for the
Greater than or equal to: a >= b number 2
Equal to a == b for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
Not Equal to: a != b [Link](number + " x " + i
+ " = " + (number * i));
Java has the following conditional }
statements: Loop Through a Multi-Dimensional Array
Use if to specify a block of code to be You can also use a for loop inside

Use else to specify a block of code to to point to the two indexes):
be executed, if the same condition is int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5,
false 6, 7} };
Use else if to specify a new condition for (int i = 0; i < [Link]; +

Use switch to specify many alternative for (int j = 0; j < myNumbers[i].length;

write: }
int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, public static void main(String[] args) {
