00:02	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on methods in java.
00:06	In this tutorial we will learn
00:08	To create a method.
00:10	And To call a method.
00:13	Here we are using
00:14	Ubuntu version 11.10
00:17	Java Development kit 1.6 and
00:20	Eclipse 3.7.0
00:24	To follow this tutorial you must know how to write, compile and run a simple java program in eclipse.
00:32	If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website which is as shown, (http://www.spoken-tutorial.org)
00:40	A java method is a collection of statements that performs a specified operation.
00:46	Let us now write a method.
00:50	So, in the eclipse, I have already created a project Methods.
00:57	In the project, I have created a java class name MethodDemo.
01:06	In the class outside the main method we will write a method.
01:13	So type void name of the method
01:19	Let us name it as displayMessage parentheses Enter
01:29	And curly brackets.
01:32	A method can return a value.
01:34	But if you don’t want the method to return a value then the keyword voidis used.
01:42	Alright now inside the curly brackets, let us print a message.
01:47	So type System dot out dot println Hello Method.
02:06	So we have written a method.
02:10	Now we will call this method.
02:13	So inside the Main method, we will create an object of the classMethodDemo.
02:21	So MethodDemo object name.
02:26	Let's name it as md =new MethodDemo parentheses, semicolon.
02:37	So we have created an object mdof the class MethodDemo using the New operator.
02:48	Now let us call the method displayMessage.
02:51	So type md dot displayMessage
03:00	The Dot operator is used to call the method.
03:06	Now let us Run this application by clicking on Runicon.
03:14	We see the output Hello Method on the console
03:20	Now let us return an integer instead ofvoid.
03:26	So type int.
03:32	Also make the method public, that is accessible everywhere.
03:37	By default it is private, that is accessible only within the class where it is written.
03:45	Now inside the method type return seven, semicolon.
03:55	Remember that we write the return statement at the end of all in the method.
04:02	This is because after return statement no other statements are executed.
04:08	Now inside the Main method at the end type the print statement.
04:15	So type System dot out dot println();
04:23	Within parenthesis we will call the method.
04:28	So put md dot method inside the parentheses remove the semi-colon.
04:37	This will print the return value of the method.
04:42	Run the application.
04:45	We see in the output, the value 7 is printed.
04:51	Now we will write another method and call this methd in displayMessage.
04:59	So type public void method name square within parentheses int a.
05:15	Here we are giving int a as a parameter to our method.
05:20	Now within curly brackets type, System dot out dot println within parentheses a into a.
05:37	So we have written a square method.
05:40	That will display a square of an integer which is given as a parameter.
05:48	Let us call this method in the displayMessage method.
05:53	So type square within parentheses an integer 5, semicolon.
06:07	Run this application.
06:12	We see that the output displays the square of 5 that is 25.
06:19	Now let us understand the flow of the application.
06:24	The starting point is the Main method.
06:29	In the Main method, we have first called the displayMessage.
06:34	So the control goes to the displayMessage.
06:40	And all the statements in the displayMessage are executed.
06:45	The first one is the print statement.
06:50	Then it comes across the square method.
06:54	So the control jumps to the square method.
06:57	The square method takes an integer 5 and returns the square of the integer i.e. 25.
07:06	Then the control goes back to the displayMessage.
07:10	And it returns the value 7.
07:14	Then the control jumps back to the Main console.
07:20	Since there are no statements left to execute, in the main method the application terminates
07:29	Alright now let us make displayMessage as static.
07:35	So after public type static.
07:40	We see that we cannot call a non static method inside the static method
07:47	So we will comment this call.
07:52	Since Main is a static method, we can call the static displayMessage inside this
08:02	Now for static method we do not need to create an object.
08:07	So we will comment this object creation.
08:11	Also we will Delete md.
08:18	Run the application.
08:22	We see the output Hello Method and 7.
08:27	We do not see 25 because we have commented the call to square method
08:34	We can also call method from other class.
08:38	For that I have created a class Demo.
08:45	Inside the class create a method.
08:48	So type public void show parentheses Enter
08:56	Inside curly brackets, System dot out dot println
09:07	I am from other class.
09:13	Save the file.
09:16	Go back to method MethodDemo class
09:19	Now we will call this show method inside the method MethodDemo class.
09:28	For that we need to create the object of the class Demo.
09:22	This is because the show method belongs to the class Demo.
09:38	So type Demo d=new Demo parentheses, semicolon
09:48	Then call the method show parentheses.
09:54	Lets Run this application.
09:58	We see on the console I am from other class.
10:04	This is how methods are used in java.
10:09	The method name and the parameters forms the signature of the method.
10:14	While the curly brackets and the statements forms the body of the method.
10:23	So in this tutorial, we have learnt
10:25	To create a method
10:27	To call a method
10:29	And Different signatures of methods
10:32	For self assessment, create a method which prints the cube of an integer.
