Explicit Return #

The return statement is used to return a value from a function.

function example(): int {
    return 1;
}

The return statement can be used without a value to exit a function early.

function example(): void {
    if $condition {
        return;
    }

    // ...
}

Implicit Return #

A function can return implicitly by omitting the return keyword and the semicolon.

function example(): int {
    1
}
