CS 145 Lecture 5 – Methods
Agenda
- print vs. println
- Scanner oddities
- don’t repeat yourself
- methods:
- hide details
- encapsulate repeatable processes
- parameters and return types
Code
CharacterArithmetic.java
package preexam1; public class CharacterArithmetic { public static void main(String[] args) { char c = 'm'; System.out.print(c + 5); System.out.println(" <- the sum"); c = (char) (c + 5); System.out.println(c); char avgLetter = ('a' + 'z') / 2; System.out.println(avgLetter); } }
Mathods.java
package preexam1; public class Mathods { public static void main(String[] args) { double debraOfThirteen = Mathods.getDebraValue(13); System.out.println(debraOfThirteen); } public static double getDebraValue(double x) { double answer = -1.0 / x; return answer; } }
CircleMaker.java
package preexam1; import java.util.Scanner; public class CircleMaker { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); // Use that data to make them their awesome circle.
