Java parameters
Created By: chatGPT
Parameters in Java are used to pass data into methods and constructors. They enable methods to receive inputs when they are called. The syntax for declaring parameters is quite straightforward. You specify the data type followed by the parameter name within the parentheses of the method declaration.
public void myMethod(int number, String text) {
// Method body
}
When a method is called, you can provide arguments that correspond to the parameters defined in the method. The number of arguments must match the parameters in both type and order.
myMethod(5, "Hello");
Java also supports varargs (variable-length arguments), which allows you to pass a variable number of arguments to a method. This is done by specifying the parameter type followed by three dots.
public void myVarargsMethod(String... items) {
for (String item : items) {
System.out.println(item);
}
}
You can call the varargs method with any number of arguments, including none. If you want to pass an array, you can also do that directly.
myVarargsMethod("Item1", "Item2", "Item3");
String[] array = {"A", "B", "C"};
myVarargsMethod(array);
It's important to note that parameters can have default values. However, Java does not support default parameters directly. Instead, method overloading can be used to achieve similar functionality.
public void myOverloadedMethod() {
myOverloadedMethod("Default");
}
public void myOverloadedMethod(String message) {
System.out.println(message);
}
