Java return method

Definition: Two of the components of a method declaration comprise the method signature—the method’s name and the parameter types .

In Java, a method signature is part of the method declaration. It’s the combination of the method name and the parameter list . The reason for the emphasis on just the method name and parameter list is because of overloading. It’s the ability to write methods that have the same name but accept different parameters.9 Oca 2019

The signature of a method consists of the name of the method and the description (i.e., type, number, and position) of its parameters. Example: toUpperCase() println(String s)
