Answer 3

Return Statement is Very Usefull, when u create a function and return something from the function , at the time of calling the function u can access that returned variable.

Example :-

void sum()
{
int a=5;
int b=6;
int sum=a+b;

return sum;
}

int value = sum();

in this case the int variable value will become equals to a+b which is equals to 11
