             Methods -- Style 4  
              (does  receive arguments, does  return values)  
          
          Style 4: Our fourth style of method takes arguments AND returns a value.   
         
          //Demo 
            Program for Methods 
             
public class method4test { 
     public static void main(String[ ] args)  { 
                    int test1 = 12, test2 = 
            10; 
            // 
    notice in this next line the method named "min" is in a print statement 
           System.out.println("The minimum 
            of " + test1 + " and " + test2 
                                                         
            + " is " + min(test1,test2) + "."); 
       } 
   
       //Method to find minimum 
       // This method needs to receive two integers and 
    returns one integer. 
         // Notice the names of the variables sent (test1, test2), 
         // and the parameters receiving them (int x, int y) are not the same. 
       public static int min(int x, int y) 
       { 
            int minimum;  // local variable 
            if (x < y) 
                  
            minimum = x; 
            else 
                  
            minimum = y; 
            return (minimum);  // return value to main 
       } 
            } 
          Output: 
          
            
              
                
                  The minimum of 12 and 10 is 10.  |
