Android Development for Beginners : Define a Method

Method 1

private String createCalendarEventReminder(String eventName, String location, int minutesAway) {
    String reminder = "You have an upcoming event in " + minutesAway + " minutes.";
    reminder = reminder + " It is " + eventName + " held at " + location + ".";
    return reminder;
}

Method 2

private int deductPoints(int pointsUsed) {
     // Everyone starts with 100 points
     int numberOfPoints = 100 - pointsUsed;
     return numberOfPoints;
}

Method 3

private String findTotalTripLength(int distanceOfFirstTrip, int distanceOfSecondTrip, int distanceOfThirdTrip) {
     // Assume we need 2 miles to go to our friend's home (where the trip will start).
     int totalLength = 2;
     
     // Then start adding in the trip length.
     totalLength = totalLength + distanceOfFirstTrip + distanceOfSecondTrip + distanceOfThirdTrip;
     
     // Form a string to display the total trip length.
     String message = "The total trip will be: " + totalLength + " miles.";
     return message;
}
