Answer 2

return its a keyword that "return" (really?) a value from a function/method and output NOTHING... Its used at example like a squareRoot method must return the square root of parameter passed to it... System.out.prinln its an method that print parameter value to standard output (console usually)

Imagine an ATM. println is like showing your balance, information is displayed but no value is given. return is like withdrawing cash, you actually get something out of the operation
