Methods / Functions

Methods and functions are code blocks that contains a series of statements. A program causes the statements to be executed by calling the method or function and specifying any required argument.

The difference between a method or function is that a function will return a value, while the method not.

The syntax of a method is:

// void <method name> ([<data type> <arg name>]) { // ... // } void printMessage() { print("hello"); }

The syntax of a function is:

// <data type> <method name> ([<data type> <arg name>]) { // ... // return <data type> // } float square (float x) { return x * x; }
