In computer programming, the return type (or result type) defines and constrains the data type of the value returned from a subroutine or method. In many programming languages (especially statically-typed programming languages such as C, C++, Java) the return type must be explicitly specified when declaring a function.
In the Java example:
public void setShuma(int n1, int n2) {
Shuma = n1 + n2
}
public int getShuma() {
return Shuma;
}
the return type is . The program can therefore rely on the method returning a value of type . Various mechanisms are used for the case where a subroutine does not return any value, e.g., a return type of is used in some programming languages:
public void returnNothing()
A method returns to the code that invoked it when it completes all the statements in the method, reaches a return statement, or
throws an exception, whichever occurs first.
You declare a method's return type in its method declaration. Within the body of the method, you use the return statement to return the value.
Any method declared void doesn't return a value. It does not need to contain a return statement, but it may do so. In such a case, a return statement can be used to branch out of a control flow block and exit the method and is simply used like this:
return;
If you try to return a value from a method that is declared void, you will get a compiler error.
Any method that is not declared void must contain a return statement with a corresponding return value, like this:
return returnValue;
The data type of the return value must match the method's declared return type; you can't return an integer value from a method declared to return a boolean.
The getArea() method in the Rectangle Rectangle class that was discussed in the sections on objects returns an integer:
// A method for computing the area of the rectangle
public int getArea() {
return width * height;
}
This method returns the integer that the expression evaluates to.
The getArea method returns a primitive type. A method can also return a reference type.

C est un langage de programmation impératif, généraliste et de bas niveau. Inventé au début des années 1970 pour réécrire Unix, C est devenu un des langages les plus utilisés, encore de nos jours. De nombreux langages plus modernes comme C++, C#, Java et PHP ou JavaScript ont repris une syntaxe similaire au C et reprennent en partie sa logique. C offre au développeur une marge de contrôle importante sur la machine (notamment sur la gestion de la mémoire) et est de ce fait utilisé pour réaliser les « fondations » (compilateurs, interpréteurs.
