Every method declaration includes several specific components:
: The data type the method returns (e.g., int , String ). Use void if it returns nothing.
: Variables declared inside a method. They cannot be accessed outside that method.
: "Don't Repeat Yourself." Use methods to reuse code.
: The unique name used to call the method (usually camelCase).
