10.2. Function Declaration Example
A typical function declaration looks like this:
function String hello(String name) {
return "Hello "+name+"!";
}
Note
Note that the
function keyword is used, even though it's not technically part of Java. Parameters to the function are defined as for a method. You don't have to have parameters if they are not needed. The return type is defined just like in a regular method.
