This type of method does not return a value.

1. a. null
2. b. void
3. c. empty
4. d. anonymous

Program Description Answer

The method which does not return a value is called as “void()”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Explanation of Solution

Methods:

A collection of statements which together perform an operation is called as methods.

• The main advantage of using method is reusability of code and it reduces the size of the program, because a method can be called for multiple times in the program.

void() method:

The method void executes a set of statements with no return value.

Explanation for incorrect options:

a. null:

The keyword null is used to declare the null data type

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

c. Empty:

Empty is used to represent a string which has blank value in it.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

d. Anonymous:

There is no method called as “anonymous” in Java, but the nameless object in java is termed as anonymous object.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
