Void: Performs actions, no return value. Non-void: Performs actions, returns a value.

Static: Belongs to the class, called using class name. Non-static: Belongs to the object, called using object name.

Static: ClassName.methodName(). Non-static: objectName.methodName(). Static methods don't require an object instance.

Parameters: Variables in method definition. Arguments: Actual values passed when calling the method.

Public: Accessible from anywhere. Private: Accessible only within the class. Protected: Accessible within the class, subclass, and package.

print(): Prints to the console without a newline. println(): Prints to the console with a newline.

if: Evaluates boolean expressions. switch: Evaluates a single variable against multiple constant values.

for: Used when the number of iterations is known. while: Used when the number of iterations is unknown.

Classes: Blueprint for creating objects. Objects: Instances of a class.

Local: Declared inside a method, scope limited to that method. Instance: Declared inside a class but outside any method, belongs to an object.

It indicates that the method does not return a value.

Use the class name and dot notation: ClassName.methodName();

Use the object name and dot notation: objectName.methodName();

It's crucial for the compiler to identify and call the correct method.

The program jumps to the method's code, executes it, and returns to the point where it was called.

Organizing code into reusable blocks and making programs more modular.

They allow methods to accept input values, modifying their behavior.

The method name and the parameter list.

They belong to the class and act as general tools for any object of the class.

They operate on a specific object, with each object having its own version.

1. Create an object of the class (if the method is non-static). 2. Use dot notation: objectName.methodName(parameters); or ClassName.methodName(parameters); for static methods.

1. Declare the method signature (access modifier, return type, method name, parameters). 2. Write the method body (the code that performs the task).

1. Create an object of the class (if non-static). 2. Use dot notation: objectName.methodName(parameters); or ClassName.methodName(parameters); for static methods. No return value is assigned.

1. Create an object of the class (if non-static). 2. Use dot notation: objectName.methodName(parameters); or ClassName.methodName(parameters); for static methods. 3. Store or use the return value.

1. Declare the class using the class keyword. 2. Define instance variables (attributes). 3. Define methods (behaviors). 4. Optionally, define constructors to initialize objects.

1. Write the Java code in a .java file. 2. Compile the code using javac YourFile.java. 3. Run the compiled code using java YourFile.

1. Declare a variable of the class type. 2. Use the new keyword followed by the class constructor to create a new object. 3. Assign the new object to the variable.

1. Specify the data type. 2. Provide a name for the variable. 3. Optionally, initialize the variable with a value. Example: int age = 25;

1. Write the if keyword followed by a boolean expression in parentheses. 2. Write the code to be executed if the expression is true within curly braces. 3. Optionally, add else or else if blocks for alternative conditions.

1. Write the for keyword followed by initialization, condition, and increment/decrement statements in parentheses. 2. Write the code to be executed in each iteration within curly braces.
