public void test(int arg1, int arg2) throws Exception{
.......
}
Above is a typical declaration of a user defined method in java.
The first word public defines the access modifier for the method. you can use public or private.
the second word defines the return type of the method. a void represents no return value. you can have int, String, float etc...
third word is the method name. You can have anything except keywords in this
The values inside the parenthesis are the arguments. A method can take any number of arguments
The throws declaration signifies that this method may throw exceptions. The calling method should have code to handle them.
Yes a user defined exception can have any number of methods in it. A user defined exception is nothing but a Java class created for a specific purpose. Just like ordinary Java classes, you can have any number of methods in it...
Fields and methods. Fields are variables defined at the class level, i.e., they are available for all methods. Methods are the equivalent of functions / procedures, but they are defined for a specific class.
A Java class is expected to have all functions defined. The purpose of defining the methods is to decide on its expected functionality and behavior. Only in case of Interfaces we declare methods but leave the method definitions to the implementing classes.
You can check out the Arrays.binarySearch group of methods for searching sorted arrays. There is no predefined linear search for arrays, probably because it is trivially easy to implement. If you have some other data structure to search, the Collections.binarySearch methods should work for you. Most collections can also be converted to a List representation, which has a predefined indexOf method for linear searching.
Any function or method in Java that is coded by the programmer is called a user defined method in Java. The JAVA API (Application Programming Interface) has a set of predefined classes & methods that are for our usage. Whatever methods we create apart from these are termed as user defined methods. In java we not use the term functions. We call them "Methods"
The API is a reference for all predefined classes provided by the java language. This will allow the programmer to utilize the classes into their programs. The API provides packages, classes, methods, constants, etc.

Predefined functions are built-in functions provided by a programming language or software application for common tasks, such as mathematical calculations or string manipulation. User-defined functions are functions created by the programmer to perform specific tasks tailored to the program's requirements. Predefined functions are readily available and can be used without additional coding, while user-defined functions require the programmer to define the function's behavior and implementation.

They are very different. An abstract class is a class that represents an abstract concept (Google define "abstract" if you're unsure) such as 'Thoughts' or 'BankAccount'. When a class is defined as abstract it cannot be used (directly) to create an object. Abstract classes are used as super-classes so that all of their subclasses inherit all methods. Interfaces can be thought of as contracts with all of their implementing classes. They simply require all implementing classes to have methods with the same signature as that defined in the interface, but such methods can behave as appropriate. Hope that helps :)

In the Java programming language, a keyword is one of 53 reserved words that have a predefined meaning in the language; because of this, programmers cannot use keywords as names for variables, methods, classes, or as any other identifier.

A factory class is any class which is used to create instances of other classes. The methods which create those classes are the factory methods. For example, the BorderFactory class has a variety of methods for creating instances of the different types of the Border classes. BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(); BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(); ...
Yes. It is possible to implement overriding in every inheritance level. If there are methods of the same name in multiple classes in the hierarchy the one that is closest to the current object gets invoked. The other methods can be specifically invoked using the super keyword.
