It will break the method.
But break is sort of a miss-leading word to use.
When a method is returned, it terminates.
However, the value of what was returned (if any) is given as the function call.
Here's some examples/
static void ex(){
return;
Console.Write("After return!");
}
Then if I call the method:
ex();
There is no output.
Since 'return' terminated the method before the statement 'Console.Write("...")' could run.
But you can also do something like this:
int pi = getPi();
static float getPi(){
return 3.14;
// terminates the method, and returns 3.14
}
Now the variable pi will have the value of what the function 'getPi()' returned. Which was 3.14.
So, pi is 3.14.

It returns from the method immediately without executing the code after the return statement.

It is like a break and an equal cimbined, for a function.
But using it outside a function yields an error

as i understood, the called method will not continue after the return statement
(Thanks for explanation 👍)
