<h1>The return statement </h1>
</center>
<hr>
<p>
<b>return</b> will return a value from a function to its caller.
The value returned is
the result of an <a href="../CONCEPT/expressions.html">expression</a>.
<p>
<hr>
As an Example this will print <b>7</b>
<p>
<table border=2 width="100%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
int func(void);
main()
{
printf("%d \n", func());
}
int func(void)
{
return 7;
}
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
What ever follows the <b>return</b> statement will be evaluated as
an expression. So, to be consistant you could place brackets around
the return value.
<p>
<table border=2 width="50%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
return(7);
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
Or you could evaluate a formula on the statement:
<p>
<table border=2 width="50%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
return (Count-1);
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
Finally, if the function returns a <a href=void.html>void</a>
the <b>return</b> statement is not required, but maybe needed to
leave a function before the end of the function block. Here
is an example.
<p>
<table border=2 width="100%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
void CheckDate(int)
main()
{
CheckDate(40)
}
void CheckDate(int Month)
{
if (Month > 31)
{
return;
}
puts("Month is valid");
}
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
