Java Methods

Methods in Java are blocks of code that perform specific tasks. They allow for code reuse and can take inputs (parameters) and return results (return values).

Defining and Calling Methods

public class MethodExample {
    // Method that adds two numbers
    public static int addNumbers(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = addNumbers(5, 3);
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + result);
    }
}
    

This example defines a method addNumbers that takes two integers as parameters, adds them, and returns the result. The method is called in the main method.
