JAVA: Keyword Return di Java

Di Java, return adalah kata kunci yang di reserved artinya, kita tidak dapat menggunakannya sebagai pengidentifikasi. Digunakan untuk return dari method, dengan atau tanpa nilai. Penggunaan keyword return karena ada dua (2) cara seperti yang tercantum di bawah ini sebagai berikut:

Case 1: Method returning sebuah nilai
Case 2: Method tidak returning sebuah nilai

Mari kita ilustrasikan dengan mengimplementasikannya secara langsung sebagai berikut:

Case 1: Method returning sebuah value

Untuk method yang mendefinisikan tipe return, pernyataan return harus segera diikuti dengan nilai return.

Contoh:

// Java Program to Illustrate Usage of return Keyword
 
// Main method
class GFG {
 
    // Method 1
    // Since return type of RR method is double
    // so this method should return double value
    double RR(double a, double b) {
        double sum = 0;
        sum = (a + b) / 2.0;
       
        // Return statement as we already above have declared
        // return type to be double
        return sum;
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Print statement
        System.out.println(new GFG().RR(5.5, 6.5));
    }
}

Output

6.0

Penjelasan Output: Saat kita memanggil metode kelas GFG yang memiliki return sum yang return nilai jumlah dan nilai itu akan ditampilkan di konsol.

Case 2: Method tidak returning sebuah value

Untuk method yang tidak return nilai, pernyataan retyrn di Java dapat dilewati. di sini muncul dua (2) kasus ketika tidak ada nilai yang di return oleh pengguna seperti yang tercantum di bawah ini sebagai berikut:

#1: Method tidak menggunakan return statement di void function
#2: Method dengan return type void

#1: Method not using return statement in void function

Contoh:

// Java program to illustrate no return
// keyword needed inside void method
 
// Main class
class GFG {
 
    // Since return type of RR method is
    // void so this method shouldn't return any value
    void demoSum(int a, int b)
    {
        int sum = 0;
        sum = (a + b) / 10;
        System.out.println(sum);
 
        // No return statement in this method
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Calling the method
        // Over custom inputs
        new GFG().demoSum(5, 5);
 
        // Display message on the console for successful
        // execution of the program
        System.out.print(
            "No return keyword is used and program executed successfully");
    }
 
    // Note here we are not returning anything
    // as the return type is void
}

Output

1

No return keyword is used and program executed successfully Note: Return statement not required (but can be used) for methods with return type void. We can use “return;” which means not return anything.

1. 2: Methods with void return type

Contoh 1-A:

// Java program to illustrate usage of
// return keyword in void method
 
// Class 1
// Main class
class GFG {
 
    // Method 1
    // Since return type of RR method is
    // void so this method should not return any value
    void demofunction(double j)
    {
        if (j < 9)
 
            // return statement below(only using
            // return statement and not returning
            // anything):
            // control exits the method if this
            // condition(i.e, j<9) is true.
            return;
        ++j;
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Calling above method declared in above class
        new GFG().demofunction(5.5);
 
        // Display message on console to illustrate
        // successful execution of program
        System.out.println("Program executed successfully");
    }
}

Output

Program executed successfully

Output explanation: If the statement if(j<9) is true then control exits from the method and does not execute the rest of the statement of the RR method and hence comes back again to main() method.

Now moving ahead geek you must be wondering what if we do use return statement at the end of the program?

return statement can be used at various places in the method but we need to ensure that it must be the last statement to get executed in a method.

Note: return statement need not to be last statement in a method, but it must be last statement to execute in a method.

Contoh 1-B:

// Java program to illustrate return must not be always
// last statement, but must be last statement
// in a method to execute
 
// Main class
class GFG {
 
    // Method 1
    // Helper method
    // Since return type of RR method is void
    // so this method should not return any value
    void demofunction(double i)
    {
        // Demo condition check
        if (i < 9)
 
            // See here return need not be last
            // statement but must be last statement
            // in a method to execute
            return;
 
        else
            ++i;
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Calling the method
        new GFG().demofunction(7);
 
        // Display message to illustrate
        // successful execution of program
        System.out.println("Program executed successfully");
    }
}

Output

Program executed successfully

Output explanation:

As the condition (i<9) becomes true, it executes return statement, and hence flow comes out of ‘demofunction’ method and comes back again to main. Following this, the return statement must be the last statement to execute in a method, which means there is no point in defining any code after return which is clarified below as follows:

Contoh 2A

// Java program to illustrate usage of
// statement after return statement
 
// Main class
class GFG {
 
    // Since return type of RR method is void
    // so this method should return any value
    // Method 1
    void demofunction(double j)
    {
        return;
 
        // Here get compile error since can't
        // write any statement after return keyword
 
        ++j;
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Calling the above defined function
        new GFG().demofunction(5);
    }
}

Output:

Contoh 2-B

// Java program to illustrate usage
// of return keyword
 
// Main class
class GFG {
 
    // Since return type of RR method is
    // void so this method should not return any value
    // Method 1
    void demofunction(double val)
    {
 
        // Condition check
        if (val < 0) {
 
            System.out.println(val);
            return;
 
            // System.out.println("oshea");
        }
        else
            ++val;
    }
 
    // Method 2
    // Main drive method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // CAlling the above method
        new GFG().demofunction(-1);
 
        // Display message to illustrate
        // successful execution of program
        System.out.println("Program Executed Successfully");
    }
}

Output

-1.0

Program Executed Successfully Note: In the above program we do uncomment statements it will throw an error.
