D.1.6 Passing Data to and from Actions Notes
Passing Data to and from Actions
Understanding Parameters in Object-Oriented Programming
Definition
Parameters
Variables used in methods to receivedata from the caller.
Definition
Arguments
Actual values passed to the parameters when the method is called.
Example
In Java, methods are the primary way to define actions within a class.
They can accept parameters and return values, making them versatile tools for encapsulating behaviour.
Designing Methods with Parameters
Methods can accept multiple parameters but return only one value.
Single Parameter: Useful for simple actions.
Multiple Parameters: Allows complex operations by providing all necessary data.
Tip
When designing methods, consider the minimum number of parameters needed to perform the action.
This keeps your code clean and efficient.

Introduction to Passing Data in Methods
In object-oriented programming, methods are fundamental building blocks that allow us to encapsulate behavior and functionality within classes. When we want to perform actions or calculations, we often need to pass data into these methods and receive results back.
Methods can accept parameters (input data) and return values (output data).
This process of passing data is essential for creating reusable and flexible code.
AnalogyThink of methods like a vending machine: you input your selection (parameters), and the machine gives you a snack (return value).
ExampleIn a simple calculator program, you might have a method that takes two numbers as parameters and returns their sum.
