I get how to use them to return a value.... i understand what it does
for instance return a; would return value of a variable..

but ehhh, I'm not sure what else it's used for, isn't it used to exit a method?not sure....
for instance using return alone without any return data/value

It is used for returning from a function, there is no other meaning to it.

If you want to get literal return is an alias for the ret instruction in assembly which pops the return address off the stack and then jumps back to that address to resume flow from where the address left off.

Returning from a function... meaning method i'm assuming...also does that mean ur using a return statement inside a method to exit the method? Could you give me an example?

Reading that i still don't understand, i mean does it exit the method? Or does it restart the method and not execute anything after return?
I'm hoping Abduct can elaborate on my first reponse to him....

I mean if it just exits the method when u type return, without executing the rest of stuff in method, how is that different from break?
There's something i'm not understanding i'm guessing

i explained that to you in your break thread.

Just looked there... didn't see anything about return statements...........

your other break thread
