Exam 6: Modularizing Your Code with Methods

void methods are useful for simplifying complex conditions that are tested in decision and repetition structures.

In general, the same naming rules that apply to variables also apply to methods.

Nested if statements can be useful for modularizing input validation.

A method that has an output parameter must set the output parameter to some value before it finishes executing.

Dividing a large problem into several smaller problems that are easily solved is sometimes called ____________.

When you call a method that has an output parameter, you must also write the keyword out before the argument.

When you want a method to be able to change the value of a variable that is passed to it as an argument, the variable must be ____________.

The top-down design process is sometimes called stepwise engineering.

When you call a ____________ method, it executes statements it contains and then returns a value back to the program statement that called it.
