Method stub
open-in-new
<p>A method stub is a short and simple placeholder for a <a href="/facts/Method_(computer_programming)/8kAXxVYs">method</a> that is not yet written for production needs. Generally, a method stub contains just enough code to allow it to be used – a declaration with any parameters, and if applicable, a return value. </p><p>A method stub may be used to implement an <a href="/facts/Interface_(computer_science)/zdfp8unT">interface</a> that is defined but for which the implementation is not available. </p>
