Review
Remember that a method is a section of code in a class that allows us to tell code to do something.
A method has a name and body. * The name is how we call the method (to use it), and the body is the code that is executed.
public class ClassWithMethods {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Calling method1()");
method1(); //call the method named "method1"
System.out.println("main finishing");
}
public static void method1() {
System.out.println(" method1 executing");
}
}
When method1() is called, the program jumps into method1's body and executes its statements.
When the method is finished, the program jumps back to main and continues.

We are going to call a single method several times.
* Change main to call method1 five times.
* Instead of copying and pasting method1();, call the method inside a loop.
* Use a variable counter to keep track of how many times the loop body has executed. Initialize counter to 0. The loop will execute as long as counter < 5. Make sure to increment (add 1 to) counter at the end of the loop.
