Answer: Return statement isused to pass value or reference from the method to the caller (another method). If there is no return statement in the method it is only means that the method is used to execute actions without returning any value from it. Also execution goes back to the caller not only when the last statement is reached – it is goes back when return statement is reached too and it could be not the last line in the method. Return statement can be used in the <void> methods to terminate the execution. Absence of the return statement leads to the fact that the method will be executed to the last line in it and then the execution goes back to the caller. Entry point is a method too and the entire program runs through it by calling another methods and the execution always returns to it from called methods despite if the return values or not.
