return (very simple quetstion)

[jwxie518]

for a given code, ex:

unsigned int bFunction()
{
if (!aFunction())
{
   //do something
   return this->data[index];
}
return false;
return 0;
}

The bFunction is not a boolean, so I have to include return 0 just so it compiles.

When !aFunction is true, it will execute everything and including return this->data[index]

My question: is it true that as soon as the program hits a return, the function will exit immediately once the return is successful? Meaning that return false will never execute, right?


Thank you!

That's more or less right. If you hit a return in your program and there are no problems with types (which are usually dealt with at compile time, actually) then your function will terminate right there, meaning a return that would've occurred later will not.
