terminate function calling in java

In Java, you can use the return statement to terminate a function and return a value to the caller. When the return statement is executed, the function terminates immediately and the control is returned to the caller.

Here's an example of how to use the return statement to terminate a function in Java:

public int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

In this example, the add function takes two integers as arguments and returns their sum. The return statement terminates the function and returns the sum to the caller.

You can also use the return statement to terminate a function without returning a value, by specifying the void type for the return type of the function:

public void printMessage(String message) {
    System.out.println(message);
    return;
}

In this example, the printMessage function takes a string as an argument and prints it to the standard output. The return statement terminates the function without returning a value.

You can find more information about the return statement and how to use it in Java in the Java documentation.
