What is the return type in Java?
All Java methods must declare a return type, which may be an object reference, primitive value or void. The void return declaration means that no value is returned, control is simply returned to the calling class. Methods with non-void return types must ensure that the appropriate object reference or primitive value is returned when the method completes. The method return value is like a message and often represents a property of the object, the product of a calculation or algorithm or a text output for instance.
