System.out.println("Before the return.");
if(t) return; // return to caller
System.out.println("This won't execute.");
}
}
The output from this program is shown here:
Before the return.
As you can see, the final println( ) statement is not executed. As soon as return is executed,
control passes back to the caller.
One last point: In the preceding program, the if(t) statement is necessary. Without it, the
Java compiler would flag an "unreachable code" error because the compiler would know
that the last println( ) statement would never be executed. To prevent this error, the if statement
is used here to trick the compiler for the sake of this demonstration.
