Java instance method the object itself using the 'this' keyword side effects if it does not modify any data, and does not leave behind any information, other than its result, that would have an effect on other computations a comment at its head if the method is non-obvious when using a certain procedure, a programmer does not need to worry about all the details of how it performs its computations; he or she only needs to know how to call it and what it computes public except for those that will definitely need to be called from outside the package its caller from only one place which should be the last statement Java method The Basics of Java
public float credit(float amountToCredit)
{
balance = balance + amountToCredit;
return balance;
}
void if it does not return anything a method in a superclass with the same name the details of procedures a special-purpose function such as the user interface for a particular system other methods and variables in any class in the same package by default return type procedural abstraction public, protected or private if related aspects of a system are kept together in this module, and unrelated aspects are kept out
