Implicit returns

Hi all,
I have an assignment to do and as specification it said:
Your parser should determine the number of returns per method and the return type for each method in the class file. These should be printed in a table. Be sure to count implicit returns.

My question are:
What is implicit return ?
Can you give me an example?

Re: Implicit returns

I am not 100% sure but here is what I think it is:

void foo()

{

  doSomething()

}



int bar(int a)

{

 return a *a

}



int main()

{

  foo();

  bar(2);

  return 0;

}

In the above example I think it could be said that foo() has an implicit return. After execution of doSomething() completes foo() "returns" to main and bar() is called. Hopefully this helps.
