C# void. If void returns nothing then why does it continue to execute the method's statement?

Question

static void Method()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello");
}

If void means return nothing, then why does it continues to execute the statement? Can someone clarify please.

Answer 1

If a method's return type is void, it does not return anything. Your method calls console.writeline which gets the console and prints something to it. That does not require the method to return anything. You can think of it like calling a restaurant. The restaurant might have an automated system with options. Say, if you press one, you can order food to be delivered. If you press 2, you can leave a message. Option 1 takes in an order and outputs food but option 2 just calls the message system and doesn't output anything or you the caller don't receive anything when pressing 2.

Answer 2

Why wouldn't it?

Answer 3

void it means that the return word is not used.. but can, like in your example, writes in console or modify an object

As mountain climbers who give only one reason why they climb, the compiler includes the code in the executable for the same reason:

Because it is there.
