Lesson 31

Transfer of Control
Statements 2 (return).

PRESENTED BY

Keith Vassallo [Link]


return
- The return keyword is used to send the output of a method back to the
caller of the method.
- We will cover this in detail later on, however:
public class SomeClass {
- The result of num1+num2 will be
int add(int num1, int num2) { an int, so the return type of the
return num1+num2; add method is set to int.
}
- After the addition is done, the
public static void main(String[] args) {
result is sent back to
SomeClass sc = new SomeClass(); the line that called it (in the main
method in this case).

[Link]
int result = [Link](4,17);
[Link](result); - We store the result and
}
display it to the user.
}
Great work, you’ve completed this lesson!
