Keyword reference for method-signature

Question 9 (2024):

Submission reference: IN3655

one question: As the signature indicates, you need to specify the maximum number of students in that class (an integer). so the phrase signature means that we need to provide a data depending of the header type? Because what Ive understood is that signature is the blend between the method name and the parameters.

Answer 9:

That is correct. The method signature refers to the method name and its set of parameters. The term 'method header' refers to the additional elements of the visibility (public, private) and the return type (void, int, etc.) but signature is just the name and parameters.
