Java void Keyword
Example
A method without any return values:
public class Main {
static void myMethod() {
System.out.println("I just got executed!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
myMethod();
}
}
Definition and Usage
The void keyword specifies that a method should not have a return value.
More Examples
Tip: If you
want a method to return a value, you can use a primitive data type (such as int,
char, etc.) instead of void, and use the return
keyword inside the method:
Example
public class Main {
static int myMethod(int x) {
return 5 + x;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(myMethod(3));
}
}
// Outputs 8 (5 + 3)
