6.5. Returning Decimals¶
Let’s see what it looks like to return a decimal from a method. Take a look at our Actor class again, but notice that there is a new method! It’s named getNetWorth and it returns the total amount of money that an actor has earned.
As you can see, the value stored in the attribute netWorth is being returned by the method getNetWorth every time it is called. In other words, the call statements found within the Main class are literally being replaced by the value stored in each object’s neWorth attribute. This allows us to use the dot operator in new and useful ways because this allows us to embed function calls wherever we need to plug in a specific value related to the state of an object.
Can we do the same thing for booleans? Keep reading to find out!
