    }
}
Where is the Constructor is in the code?

Slide 2 - Drag question

Where is the constructor?
What part defines the behavior of an object? - the methods here the toString method returns and prints out.
Why is it important? methods allow you to DO something with objects' values.

{
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private int gradeLevel;
  
  public Student(String fName, String lName, int grade)

        lastName = lName;
        gradeLevel = grade;
    }

How to write a Method
public void printArea( )

Slide 8 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
public void printArea( )

public is an access specifier which tells us who has access to use the method when writing classes and objects.

Slide 9 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
public void printArea( )

void is the return type which tells us what type value is being returned from the method.
Void return type means the method is not returning any value!

Slide 10 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
public void printArea( )

printArea is the method name that identifies the method's purpose. 
Remember must be in lowerCamelCase!

Slide 11 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
public void printArea( )

( ) is the parameter list just like a Constructor might have a parameter list, so do Methods.  In this case, parameters are not needed.

Slide 12 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
                                public void printArea( )
                              {
                                   //step one - get area of rectangle
                                   //step two - print area
                              }



Slide 13 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
                                public void printArea( )
                              {
                                   int area = width * height
                                   //step two - print area
                              }



Slide 14 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

How to write a Method
           public void printArea( )
           {
               int area = width * height
               //step two - print area
           }



Slide 15 - Slide

Constructors are the signature of the class.

Methods have signatures as well that provide information about how it will function.

What can I add to print the area?

Slide 16 - Open question

This item has no instructions

How to write a Method
                                public void printArea( )
                              {
                                   int area = width * height
                                   System.out.println(area);
                              }



Slide 17 - Slide

Because method is printing area and not returning to program, this is a void method.

How can we use a Method?
We have to call a Method to use it...

To call a Method in our program, we would write:
objectName.method( );
