APSU CSCI 2010 - MIDTERM REVIEW
1. Void method re- False
turns a value
2. Method header Access modifier: public
contains: return type: void
Name of method: writeOutput
Parameter list: ()
3. method body Contains sequences of statements to execute when the method is called, and must
be surrounded by { and }.
4. Method can be True
defined to return
a value?
5. When the return value should be stored in a variable
method is called
6. Keyword "this": refers to the object that is performing the action specified by the method
7. Local variable: Only be accessed within the function that defines it
8. Parameter: A named variable to import arguments into a function
9. A method body True
can contain a
call to another
method
10. If the method be- True
ing called is in the
same class, the
receiving object
