Writing Methods: A Larger Look

A Java requirement:

--All methods belong to an object (or class).

--Name of object (or class) must be unambiguous when method called.

--To run a program, there must be a class (whose name is the name-of-the-program), containing a special method called main:

a class method,not aninstancemethod

visible to all

nothingreturned

Method name

for command line parameters

public static void main (String[ ] argv)
