Method prototype v signature

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi all!

I know that a method signature is the method's name and list of parameter
types, but what is a method's prototype?

Is it the signature and return type or..
is the signature, return type and all modifiers?

Thanks for any advice!

Rob,

What do you mean with 'all modifiers'?

Hi Erwin,

What do you mean with 'all modifiers'?

public private protected synchronized static etc - anything we put before
the method name..

I don't normally see that terminology applied to Java. Function
prototypes are a C concept that is not relevant to Java.
