Class Members

Members of the class are discussed here.

Generally, the variables and methods are called as Members.

They can also be called as Variable Members and Method Members

Methods

The Method has 6 different parts. You can see them in the Sun's Tutorial here -> http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/methods.html

The non-access modifiers like "synchronized" etc are not the PART of the method syntax. In such case, they become overridden methods and NOT overloaded methods in Inheritance.
