In addition to the method main, other methods can of course be defined in the program.
|
| 2 |
+
The methods are written inside the class (but, of course, OUTSIDE the MAIN METHOD).
|
| 3 |
+
In Java, the order of methods within a class is not syntactically significant: other methods can be written either before or after the main method (or both-and).
|
| 4 |
+
In the examples in the course, the main method is usually written first in the class.
|

+
|

|

As a first example, consider a method that prints numbers from one to ten:
|
| 8 |
+
public static void onetoTen() {
|
| 9 |
+
for (int i=1; i<=10; i++) {
|
| 10 |
+
System.out.println(i);
|
| 11 |
+
}
|
| 12 |
+
}
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
ANOTHER METHOD can be CALLED from the main method by its name.
|
| 19 |
+
The mechanism is exactly the same as in Python.
|
| 20 |
+
In Java, of course, you have to remember the semicolon after the call statement.
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
| 23 |
+
onetoTen();
|
| 24 |
+
}
|
