Question

Are these the same?

public void MyMethod() {do something}

public MyMethod() {do something}

void means return nothing – so leaving this key word out also means return nothing? If this is the case then why does the word exist in the language – is it used in other situations?

Answer 1

Your second option doesn’t compile.

C# specs requires that every method returns a type also when there is no result to return.

Methods are declared within a class or struct by specifying the access level,
the return value, the name of the method, and any method parameters. …

As noted by others the exception are class constructors.
