Why does it say that main will not return a value beacuse it has void, yet it does return the value of 7?

Answer 1

Oh god! I just realized that this chat room might not be linked to the lesson i'm in. So very sorry!

Answer 2

Thanks a bunch in advance!
class MyClass {

static int sum(int val1, int val2) {
return val1 + val2;
}

public static void main(String[ ] args) {
int x = sum(2, 5);
System.out.println(x);
}
}

Return: 7

Answer 3

In the second block of code, i see void right before main. Isnt that whole block printing out the returned value? What am i not getting?

Answer 4

From what i understand, 7 hasnt been assigned to anythin yet. Right? The last part says that one can assign it to something.
The method named sum is of type int, and has 2 parameters of also type int, which will print another int.
Yet the line of code system.out.println is within the block of code where main is, and i see void right before main.
Im gonna try your statement though.
Thanks a bunch again. Im still tryin to understand this.
All help is very welcome😊
