1. Write the method name. 2. Include parentheses. 3. Pass arguments inside the parentheses that match the parameter types and order.

1. Declare the method signature (access modifier, return type, method name). 2. Add parameters inside the parentheses (type and name). 3. Write the method body with code that uses the parameters.

1. Create multiple methods with the same name. 2. Ensure each method has a unique parameter list (different types, number, or order of parameters). 3. Implement each method's specific functionality.

1. Identify the method call. 2. Substitute the argument values for the corresponding parameters. 3. Execute the code within the method. 4. Note any output or side effects.

1. Check if the divisor is zero. 2. If the divisor is zero, return a predefined value (e.g., 0) or print an error message. 3. If the divisor is not zero, perform the division.

1. Identify the method's parameters. 2. Ensure the arguments match the parameters in type and order. 3. Place the arguments inside the parentheses when calling the method.

1. Identify potential invalid inputs. 2. Add conditional statements to check for these inputs. 3. Provide appropriate error handling (e.g., return an error value or throw an exception).

1. Check the number of arguments. 2. Check the data types of the arguments. 3. The compiler selects the method whose parameters match the arguments in number and type.

1. Review the method's code. 2. Check parameter values. 3. Use print statements or a debugger to trace the execution and identify the source of the error.

1. Identify a range of input values. 2. Call the method with each input value. 3. Verify that the output matches the expected result for each input.

Input passed into a method, used to customize its behavior.

The method's name and the types and order of its parameters.

The method does not return any value.

Having multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists.

To make methods more flexible and reusable by allowing them to operate on different data.

The values passed to a method when it is called.

The parameters declared in the method signature.

The region of the program where the parameter is accessible, typically within the method's body.

A parameter that has a default value specified in the method signature, used if no value is provided when the method is called.

The data type of the value that the method returns after its execution. If a method does not return a value, its return type is void.

Parameters: Passed into a method. | Local variables: Declared inside a method.

Overloading: Same name, different parameters. | Overriding: Same name and parameters, different implementation (in inheritance).

Pass-by-value: A copy of the value is passed. | Pass-by-reference: The memory address of the variable is passed (Java uses pass-by-value).

Arguments: The actual values passed to a method when it is called. | Parameters: Variables in the method definition that receive the arguments.

Formal Parameters: Declared in the method signature. | Actual Parameters: The values passed during the method call.

Instance Methods: Belong to an instance of a class, can access instance variables. | Static Methods: Belong to the class itself, can only access static variables.

Primitive Parameters: Pass-by-value, changes inside the method do not affect the original variable. | Reference Parameters: Pass-by-value (of the reference), changes inside the method can affect the original object.

Multiple Parameters: Simple data types passed individually. | Single Object Parameter: Complex data types grouped into a single object, easier to manage related data.

Void Methods: Do not return a value, perform actions. | Methods with Return Value: Return a value after execution, can be used in expressions.

Parameters: Scope is limited to the method, promotes modularity. | Global Variables: Scope is the entire program, can lead to unintended side effects.
