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?

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

(Toggle Plain Text)

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.
