Question

Hello everybody. The question is Why "max (c,d)" works without particular method description?

Answer 1

max(c,d) is calling this function

public static int max(int a, int b) {

if (a > b) return a;

else return b;
}

That's why it works ,c and d are arguments passed to a and b parameters ,a and b doesn't means that it will only accept arguments with variable name a and b

Answer 2

You have all descriptions..
Where you mean " without perticular description?" in code?

You have method for max with 2 arguments, and overloaded 4 argument method...

max(c, d) calls 2 argument max method..
From 4 argument max method, first you are calling 2 argument max method 2 times, and you get 2 return values by that values, you are again calling one more time, and in return you get final result..

Answer 3

Thanks. Now I understand this.
