Question

What is the significance of the return statement inside a method whose return type is void .
For example see this below program (I cant paste my companys code so i pasted some sample )

public class Pavan {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        Pavan r = new Pavan ();

        r.kiran();
    }

    public void kiran() {
        int a = 10;

        if (a == 10) {
            return;
        }

        System.out.println("Hi I am Kiran");
    }

}

Answer 1

It returns from the method invocation, i.e. it doesn’t run any more statements after the return.

An alternative and equivalent way to write your method kiran would be this:

public void kiran() {
    int a = 10;

    if (a != 10) {
        System.out.println("Hi I am Kiran");
    }
}
