Return
The return statement is used to explicitly return from a method. The return statement immediately terminates the method in which it is executed. For example:
As you can see, the final println( ) statement is not executed. As soon as return is executed, control passes back to the caller.
Program
class Javaapp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Before return");
return;
System.out.println("After return");
}
}
