Can someone explain method return type?

Question

please

Answer 1

It looks like you are trying to declare a function in the middle of another one, but forgot the name and argument type. You get a compile error on static because it can't be used in the middle of main. I'm thinking you want something like:

class Program {
static String x(String name){
if(name.equals("david billa")){
return name;
}
else{
return "dghj";
}

public static void main(String[ ] args) {
String name =("david billa");
System .out.println(x(name));
}
}

Answer 2

class Program {

public static void main(String[ ] args) {
String name =("david billa");
System .out.println(name);
static String (name){
if(name.equals("david billa")){
return name;
}
else{
System.out.println ("dghj");

}
}
}

Answer 3

whats wrong in the above program

Answer 4

return 0; // ending the program(no error)
return 1; //indicate some error

The value returned from main() is returned to the shell that called the program.

Generally, the return values convert to the boolean values ‘false’ for 0 and ‘true’ for 1 non-0 values in a context where a conversion to boolean happens, for example, if your function call is within an ‘if’ condition, `if(myFunction())…`, here if myFunction() returns 0, the statements inside the if won’t get executed.

Answer 5

int myMethod() {return 5;}

The return type of this method is int. You declare it in the beginning and what you return has to be of that type.
