In a non-void function, the return statement is used to send back an output value from the function to the point where it was called. This returned value can be of any data type specified by the function’s declaration. For example, in a function declared as int, the return statement would provide an integer.
On the other hand, a void function does not return any value. The return statement in a void function serves a different purpose: it immediately terminates the function and control returns to the caller. It doesn’t carry any information back to the calling location.
However, even in a void function, the return statement is optional. If not included, the function will terminate after the last line of code within its body has been executed.
