Defining Methods in C#

   //Method Body
}

Following are the various elements of a method:
                    
Access Specifier: This determines the visibility of a variable or a method from another class.
Return type: A method may return a value. The return type is the data type of the value the method returns. If the method is not returning any values, then the return type is void.
Method name: Method name is a unique identifier and it is case sensitive. It cannot be same as any other identifier declared in the class.
Parameter list: Enclosed between parentheses, the parameters are used to pass and receive data from a method. The parameter list refers to the type, order, and number of the parameters of a method. Parameters are optional; that is, a method may contain no parameters.
Method body: This contains the set of instructions needed to complete the required activity.

Example:

class NumberManipulator

{
   public int FindMax(int num1, int num2)
   {
      /* local variable declaration */
      int result;

      if (num1 > num2)
         result = num1;
      else
         result = num2;

      return result;
   }
}
