return

The return keyword returns control to the invoker of a method or constructor. A return statement used in a method can either return a value, or simply return to the invoker without specifying a value. If a return value from a method is not needed, the return keyword is followed immediately by a semicolon (rather than a value) and the method's declaration must specify a return type of void. If a return value from a method is needed, the method's declaration must specify a return type that matches the type of value being returned.

Note that in constructors, return statements cannot return values.
