C++ Return Statement Explained

In C++, the return statement is used to end the execution of a function and return a value to the caller. It can return a specific numerical value, a variable, or the value of an expression. When the function reaches the return statement, it will immediately exit and pass the value after the return statement to the caller. If the function’s return type is not void, the return statement must return a value that matches the return type. If the return type of the function is void, the return statement can be omitted or not return any value.
