Snippet

Defining a Simple Method

Methods are blocks of code that perform a specific task and can be reused. They can take parameters (input) and return a value (output).

snippet.java

java

public static int addNumbers(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

Breakdown

public static int

Defines the access level, static nature, and the return type (int) of the method.

return a + b;

The 'return' keyword sends the result back to the caller.
