Keyword used to indicate the value to return from a function. The value being returned must be the same datatype as defined in the function declaration. Functions declared with <b>void</b> can't return values and shouldn't include a return value.<br />
<br />
The keyword <b>return</b> may also be used to break out of a function, thus not allowing the program to the remaining statements. (See the third example above.)
