Declare a method

To declare a method in Java use:


visibility returnType methodName(type name1, type name2, ...) {

  // code for method

}

or


visibility returnType methodName(type name1, type name2, ...) 

{

  // code for method

}

Where visibility is usually public or private and the returnType is
the type of thing returned from the method (or null) if nothing is returned.

Example:


public String getName() { return this.name; }
