Exam 6: Modularizing Your Code with Methods

When you call a ____________ method, it executes its code and returns without passing any value back to the program statement that called it.

In C#, you declare a reference parameter by writing the ____________ keyword before the parameter variable's data type.

Passing an argument by reference guarantees that the argument will not be changed by the method it is passed into.

A(n) ____________ works like a reference parameter, but the argument does not have to be set to a value before it is passed into the parameter.

Suppose you set a breakpoint inside a method named X. When you reach a statement that calls method X, the Step Over command will stop at the breakpoint.

In a value-returning method, the type of data the method returns is commonly called the method's ____________.

When you call a method that has a reference parameter, you must also write the keyword ref before the argument.

A parameter variable can be accessed by any statement outside the method in which the parameter variable is declared.

When calling a method and passing a variable as an argument, always write the data type and the variable name of the argument variable in the method call.

The ____________, which appears at the beginning of a method definition, lists several important things about the method, including the method's name and list of parameters.

When a method contains multiple parameters, they are often referred to collectively as a(n) ____________.

Programmers commonly use a technique known as ____________ to divide an algorithm into smaller parts, which are then implemented as methods.

A parameter variable's scope is the ____________ in which the parameter variable is declared.

The method header is always terminated with a semicolon.

The benefit from dividing code into methods known as ____________ is gained as follows: After you write code to perform a task once, you can use the code again every time your program needs to perform the same task.

Data values passed a method when it is called are known as ____________.

The debugger's Step Over command lets you view all statements inside a method being called by the current program statement.

If you are writing a method and you want it to receive arguments when it is called, you must equip the method with one or more access modifiers.

When a method is called, the program branches to that method and executes the statements in its body.

You can pass int arguments into int parameters, but you cannot pass double or decimal arguments into int parameters.
