Functions in Java

Introduction: This tutorial is on how to create and use methods in Java. What's a Method: A method is similar to what you may call a function in other languages. Well, actually, it's exactly the same. A function, or a method, is a script which can be called from other scripts in order to run some code, and return a value. The only difference between a function and a method, is that methods are the name given to functions in an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language, such as Java.

Parameters/Arguments

What are 'Arguments'? In programming, arguments are pieces of data which are sent to a function upon calling that function. Arguments can be any standard variable type, this includes types such as 'String', 'Integer' and 'Boolean'. What are 'Parameters'? Parameters (Params) are the pieces of data which are request or required once a function has been called.
