basically it assign the value of return statement to that function
You can also make a variable of that like:
return(x+y)

You can store it in a variable:
int result = name_of_funtion

Now you can use this variable as other variables.
The result variable contains value of x+y.

Answer 2

Return statement returns the value where we call to that function.

print(example()) #output - i am returning

If you don't specify the return statement then it won't print anything on the console.
