1 Methods CSC 121 Fall 2014 Howard Rosenthal

2 Lesson Goals Understand what a method is in Java Understand Java s Math Class Learn the syntax of method construction Learn both void methods and methods that return a value Understand method overloading 2

3 Fundamental Definitions A method is a named sequence of instructions that are grouped together to perform a task. The main method is required for every application. Every application starts with a main method Other methods that are repeated are often accessed via calls rather than by repeating the method over and over again System.out.println() is a method keyboard.nextint() is a method Some methods require one or more inputs Some methods generate outputs Many common methods are prepackaged and easily accessible in Java 3

4 A Sample Method Let s look at a simple example of a method called Math.sqrt(x) - Math is a reference to the object that contains the method - sqrt is the name of the method - x is the single parameter input into the method 4

5 Using Preexisting Methods Java includes many methods inside the language You only need to know the name of the method, its return type, and the parameters of the method to use it Other methods require importing the method or object that the method resides in in order to use it When calling a method the parameters are casted upward without loss of information You can t cast downward when passing parameters 5

6 The Math Class Methods Method Description abs(x) Returns absolute value of x. acos(x) Returns arc cosine of x in radians. asin(x) Returns arc sine of x in radians. atan(x) Returns arc tan of x in radians. atan2(y, x) Counterclockwise angle between x axis and point (x,y). ceil(x) Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x. (round up). cos(x) Returns cosine of x, where x is in radians. exp(x) Returns e x floor(x) Returns the largest integer less than or equal to x. (round down) log(x) Returns the natural logarithm (base E) of x. max(a, b) Returns the larger of a and b. min(a, b) Returns the lesser of a and b. pow(x, y) Returns x y random() Returns a pseudorandom number between 0 and 1.. round(x) Rounds x up or down to the nearest integer. It rounds.5 up. sin(x) Returns the Sin of x, where x is in radians. 6

7 Some of these Methods are Overloaded Java allows 2 or more methods of the same class to share the same name Any overloaded method name must have different numbers or types of parameters to distinguish between the methods Examples public static double min(double x, double y) public static int min(int x, int y) In both of these cases you make a call using the method min, but the results are different Which of the Math methods are overloaded?? 7

8 Some Examples Using Math Methods We will execute the MathLibraryExample program 8

9 Writing a Method A Java method consists of a header method block really another program Methods may accept arguments A Method may return a value A method may be used as part of an expression Every method that returns a value has a return statement in the method block A return statement returns the value in that statement return sum; return true; return; // if there is no return value A return statement terminates the method A method may have more than one return statement Variables declared inside a method are called local variables. They are only valid while the method is being executed and only work inside the method This is called the scope of the variable 9

10 The Method Header The form of a Java header is : modifiers return_type name(parameter_list) For now we just use public static as the modifiers return type is the type of data that will be returned If no value will be returned this will use the word void instead of a data type The return value in the return statement cannot be of a higher type than the return type (no casting downwards) name is the name of the method Each name begins with a small letter with subsequent words in the name beginning with a capital letter drawcoordinates parameter list is an ordered list of typed variables When the method is called values are passed to the parameter list of arguments 10

11 Simple Structure for Building Methods in a Class public class MyClass { public static type method1( ) { statement; statement; } public static type methodn( ) { statement; } statement; } public static void main (String[] args) { statement; } statement; 11

12 Calling Methods A method can be invoked from The main Program Another method If the method invoked doesn t return a value you just put the method name into a statement printy(param1, param2, ); If the method returns a value you must have a variable set up to receive the value or have the method somewhere else where the value can be used y= Math.sqrt(x); System.out.println( The square root of y is + Math.sqrt(x)); 12

13 Some Simple Methods 13

14 More Examples CallingMethodsInSameClass.java MethodExample001 - shows overloading the println method MethodExample005 MethodExample007 Above examples found in: MethodExamples001.pdf 14

15 void Methods A void method is a method that doesn t return a value The return statement is simply: return; You can use a void method to print out a graph or a figure based on the input, without returning anything. The main program is typically void: public static void main (String[] args) 15

16 More on Overloading Java allows 2 or more methods of the same class to share the same name Any overloaded method name must have different numbers or types of parameters to distinguish between the methods Simple example: int max(int x, int y) and int max(int x, int y, int z) Warning: It is not legal to overload a method by having two identical methods (same name and number of variables of the same type in the same order) with different return types: int mymethod(int x) and double mymethod(int x) cannot appear in the same class 16

17 Programming Exercises Class Exercise 2 Celsius to Fahrenheit Write a method int ctof(int x) that converts a Celsius temperature to a Fahrenheit temperature. The conversion formula is: F= (9.0/5.0)*C + 32 The returned value should be rounded to the nearest degree. Test your method by displaying a table of Celsius temperatures from -40 to 100, in increments of 5 degrees, with the Fahrenheit equivalents. 17

18 Programming Exercises Class Exercise 6 Price Adjustment Write a method int bumpme(int price, int increase, boolean updown) that accepts a price in dollars and returns a new price rounded to the nearest dollar, after increasing or decreasing the price by increase percent. If updown is true then you should increase the price; otherwise decrease the price. Write an appropriate main method to test the method. 18

19 Programming Exercises - Lab Exercise 5 Consumer Price Index The Consumer Price Index (CPI) represents the change in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. It is a percentage value rounded to the nearest tenth, for instance 9.2 or -0,7. Write a method double getcpi() that asks a user to enter a number between -20 and 20 with one number after the decimal point. If the user supplies an unacceptable number the method should display an appropriate message ( number is too high, number is too low, number has wrong precision. and prompt the user for another value. When the user succeeds the method should return the number. Test your number by continually prompting a user for a value and displaying the value. When you are confident that the method is correct write a second method double inflation(double cpi, double expenses) that accepts the CPI and last year's annual expenses. Method inflation( ) returns what you might expect to pay for the same goods in the coming year. Write a main method that calls both getcpi() and inflation( ). 19
