What components are included in a Java function declaration?

The declaration of a function (method) in Java includes the following components:

• Access Modifiers (e.g., public, private, protected) — define the visibility of the method.
• Behavior Modifiers (e.g., static, final, abstract) — influence the characteristics of the method.
• Return Type — indicates the data type the method returns (int, void, String, etc.).
• Method Name — the identifier of the function.
• Parameter List in parentheses — defines the input data for the method (can be empty).
• Method Body — a block of code in curly braces that executes when the method is called.

Example of a method declaration:

public static int sum(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}
