Java Return

[aeonsky]

Hello, here is the little piece of code...

 

if(i == portfolio.length){
     portfolio = expand(portfolio);
     portfolio[portfolio.length-1] = temp;
     return;
} else {
     return;
}

 

I think I saw this in other programming languages, that if you don't have anything after the return statement, it returns the last expression. However, I do not know what the return statement which is after the else statement returns. Thanks for the help!

Its not returning anything at all, neither of them are. The function should be declared as void. if you want them to return something, you must put it after the return statement.

Sorry, the method was actually void. It is true, the method is not supposed to return anything. I just stupidly mixed it up with a Ruby feature (where return statement can return the last expression). Thank you!
