Why is the void data type used for the function if the output is a string?

I think there might be some terminology confusion. Output is *not* return type. Output is what you write to console or file an return type is what a function returns to its caller.

it only holds data, which means it doesn't a specific return type, which also means that it can hold any data type.

The function itself won't output anything once it has run through. Void type functions don't return anything. Within the function though you can output any type you want.

@Sabbir: Again, an answer that is misleading... What particular data does the function hold? Also, OP did not specifically say it's the return type... Pls try to improve on your answers.
