How can you use the return value of a non-void method in Java for further use in your program?
Instructor solution
You can use the return value of a non-void method in Java by storing it in a variable. For example, if you have a method that calculates the sum of two numbers, you can store the result in a variable like this: int sum = add(5, 10);
. You can then use the variable sum in your program for further calculations or operations.
