Examples of "Void" methods

What makes a method void? I know it's if it doesn't return a value, but what counts as a "value". Is a printed string of text not a value?

A value is something that can be stored in a variable. Basically, any information is a value. Printing text does not count as returning a value. It has to have the keyword, “return” followed by a value. If you can do this, it has a return value: someType var = func(param); If not, it does not.
