Chapter 5, Problem 4FTE

Explanation of Solution

Given program:

//Line 1- Define a method half()

public static int half(double num)

{

//Line 2 - Compute value of result

double result = num/2.0;

//Line 3- Return

return result;

}

Methods:

  • The methods could be used to break a complex program into small pieces.
  • The “void” method simply executes a statements group and then terminates.
  • A value returning method would return a value to statement that has called it.
  • While calling a method, program would branch to that method.
  •  It would then execute statements in its body.
  • The values that are sent into a method are termed as “arguments”.
  • A “parameter” denotes a special variable that holds a value that is being passed into a method.
  • The “passed by value” means that only copy of a value of argument is been passed into parameter variable...
