A java method is a series of statements that perform some repeated task. Instead of writing 10 lines of code we can put those ten lines in a method and just call it in one line. It is like a shortcut.
For example if we had to repeatedly output a header such as: System.out.println("Feral Production");
System.out.println("For all your Forest Videos");
System.out.println("427 Blackbutt Way");
System.out.println("Chaelundi Forest");
System.out.println("NSW 2473");
System.out.println("Australia");
We could put it all in a method like this: public static void printHeader(){
System.out.println("Feral Production");
System.out.println("For all your Forest Videos");
System.out.println("427 Blackbutt Way");
System.out.println("Chaelundi Forest");
System.out.println("NSW 2473");
System.out.println("Australia");
}
And to call it we simply write: printHeader();
And it will print out:
Feral Productions
For all your Forest Videos
427 Blackbutt Way
Chaelundi Forest
NSW 2473
Australia
Java methods provide us with features to pass arguments to it and also return values from it.

A Method in Java is a piece of code that is designed to perform a specific operation. It takes in input arguments processes them and then returns a value.
Ex:
public int sum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
The above method takes two integer arguments and returns the sum of the two numbers passed.
fixed method means is one which cannot be overridden by a subclass. A fixed method can be declared by prefixing the word-final before a method. We can use the keyword final to donate a constant.
Yes. Overloaded methods are also Java methods and all Java methods can be overridden.
There are three different methods /functions in java are there : 1)computational methods.2)manipulative methods.3)procedural methods.
A java object is a collection of methods and properties defined in the Java programming language.
The actions in a java class are called methods.
The Java Runtime Environment invokes main methods.
