Java Class Methods

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

Non-static instance methods (fullThrottle(), speed() without static) MUST be called through an object reference (myCar.fullThrottle()), unlike the earlier static void myMethod() examples which could be called bare — the presence/absence of static determines whether an object is required to invoke a method. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• Instance method — declared without static; must be called via an object (objectName.methodName()). [S1]
• Dot syntax for methods — same . operator used for attributes now invokes methods on an object. [S1]
• Method with parameter on an object — myCar.speed(200); passes an argument through the object reference. [S1]
• Multi-class organization — Main.java holds the class+methods, Second.java holds main() that instantiates and calls them (same pattern as Classes chapter). [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

• Instance methods defined and called: public void fullThrottle() { System.out.println("The car is going as fast as it can!"); } public void speed(int maxSpeed) { System.out.println("Max speed is: " + maxSpeed); } ... Main myCar = new Main(); myCar.fullThrottle(); myCar.speed(200);. [S1]
• Explained: object creation is required before methods can be called via dot syntax, contrasted with earlier static-method examples. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 자동차(Car) 객체의 fullThrottle/speed 메서드 호출이 인스턴스 메서드 활용의 대표 예시다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Calling instance methods via an object reference (Java):

public class Main {
    public void fullThrottle() {
        System.out.println("The car is going as fast as it can!");
    }
    public void speed(int maxSpeed) {
        System.out.println("Max speed is: " + maxSpeed);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main myCar = new Main();
        myCar.fullThrottle();
        myCar.speed(200);
    }
}
