How to write a private method that returns True for certain peramaters?
private void isValid(aRating)
{

}

private void isValid(int hour,  int minute)
{
    if (hour >= 0 && hour <=23)
    {
        System.out.println("Hour is valid");
        hourIsValid = true;
    }

    else
    {
        System.out.println("Hour is not valid");
        hourIsValid = false;
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

private boolean isValid(int aRating)
{
     if (aRating >= 1 && aRating <= 10)
         return true;
     else
         return false;
}

private void isValid(int aRating) {}

private boolean isValid(int aRating) {
    return /* validity test here */;
}

public void doStuff() {
    System.out.println("Stuff done.");
}

    System.out.println("Other stuff done.");
}

    doStuff();
    doOtherStuff();

    // or if you prefer this style:
    this.doStuff();
    this.doOtherStuff();
}

        PrivateExample.doStuff(); // Doesn't work (because it's private and defined in a different class)
    }
}
