Please explain this code

[M sallu]

Please try to explain the below code. I am sure most of people here need to know the basics. So instead of referring to any links, appreciate if you could explain

What does this code mean

public CheckingResponse checking( CheckingRequest checkingRequest ) {
//I think this means we are creating a CheckingResponse method and checking as its object which will take input from CheckingRequest method's checkingRequest object. Am i right here??

//then what is this -----------V---------- //why create new object when checking is already present??
CheckingResponse checkingResponse=new CheckingResponse();


//and what does this line mean?
IdTables idTables=checkingDao.findById(checkingRequest.getId());
....
...
}

Hmmm.... I think it may be a good idea to go back and reread the section of your book on methods.... because you are pretty far from the mark. It is better to start again than to guess at this point.

No, you are not creating a CheckingResponse method. No, you are not creating a checking object. And I am not sure what you mean by "CheckingRequets method's checkingRequest object".

Not sure what you mean here. But there is no checking object -- as mentioned.

As far as "Am I right here???", I think the answer is most definitely "no", your explanations aren't right.

The first line says

Let's define a method named 'checking.' This method will take one parameter, a CheckingRequest object, which we'll refer to as 'checkingRequest' in the body of the method. The method will return a CheckingResponse object.

The second line says

Let's have a variable named 'checkingResponse' which is defined to hold a CheckingResponse object, and furthermore, let's create a new CheckingResponse object and have the variable hold it.

The third line says

Call the method "getId()" on the CheckingRequest object in the variable "checkingRequest", and keep the result in temporary storage.
I have some kind of object in a variable named "checkingDao". Call that object's method named "findById", and pass the earlier result from temporary storage as its argument. The result will be an object of type IdTables; store it in a new variable named 'idTables'.
