Method are also called as functions.Method are extremely useful because we write logic once and it is used at many places. A method is a group of statement that together perform a task.Every C# program has at lest one class with a method named main.
Syntax of Method
[Attributes] <Access Specifier> <Return Type> <Method Name>(Parameter)
{
Method Body
}
- Access Specifier: Access Specifiers defines the scope of a class member. A class member can be variable or function. In C# there are five types of access specifiers are available. We will talk about Access specifier in letter video session.
- Return type: A method may return a value. The return type is the data type of the value the method returns. If the method is not returning any values, then the return type is void.
- Method name: Method name is a unique identifier and it is case sensitive.
- Parameter: Enclosed between parentheses, the parameters are used to pass and receive data from a method. .
- Method body: This contains the set of instructions needed to complete the required activity.
Example
public class SimpleMath {
- public static int Add(int x, int y)
{
- return x + y;
- return x * y;
Here is the test program:
// TestSimpleMath.cs
using System;
public class TestSimpleMath
{
- public static void Main(string[] args)
{
- int sum = SimpleMath.Add(5, 7);
int product = SimpleMath.Multiply(5, 7);
Console.WriteLine("sum = {0}", sum);
Console.WriteLine("product = {0}", product);
O/p
sum = 12 product = 35
