return

Example

A method that returns a value:

public class Main {

static int myMethod(int x) {

return 5 + x;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(myMethod(3));

}

// Outputs 8 (5 + 3)

Definition and Usage

The “return” keyword terminates the execution of a method and can be utilized to send back a value from the method.

More Examples

Hint: Utilize the void keyword to indicate that a method does not return any value.

Example

A method that does not return any value:

public class Main {
  static void myMethod() {
    System.out.println("I just got executed!");
  }


  public static void main(String[] args) {
    myMethod();
  }
}
