Multiple return statements can be written but the first one that is called will exit the function and return whatever you choose to return.

see...when you write 'return' statement in any function whether it's a by-default or any defined function. when ..we reach the line where return statement will get execute it will get execute to return a value..this value can be used outside the function too.Note-the speciality of it is that when it gets executed it actually 'returns' leaving the further portion unexecuted..thus if you wrote a plenty of them..it will do 'return' after the first execution.
