Return Statement | C# | Tutorial 13

Source Code - www.giraffeacad... This video is one in a series of videos where we'll be looking at programming in C#. The course is designed for new programmers, and will introduce common programming topics using the C# language.
Throughout the course we'll be looking at various topics including variables, arrays, getting user input, loops, conditionals, object orientation and much more.

Wow this guy has probably the best videos on C# on KZbin. Excellent explanations. His tutorials deserve more views. I don't get KZbin. His videos should be on top. Do more videos on C# Mike.

A few people seem confused in the comments about "where" the value is being returned. I'm also a beginner, but here's my understanding of how this all works: If you pause the video at 4:11, you can see that the cube() method is being called in the Main() method. Console.WriteLine(cube(5));

[@petarunx7611]

Thank you bro i was wondering what he meant by return to collar to understand that.but you make me understand it all easier anyways

[@prashanthmanchikatla5945]

So return is same as Console writeline ?

[@toppy2300]

@@prashanthmanchikatla5945 no return and console.writeline have nothing to do with each other. As guy above I’m also beginner but from what I understand return turns the method into a sort of variable. Usually without return the method would just multiply 5 x 5 x 5 and end it there, but with return the value that is calculated is saved onto cube(5); which allows u to print it or whatever else.

[@willh69]

My understanding is that the value is returned to memory. So it's like you say to someone, can you calculate 3*3*3? (eg the method saying calculate 3*3*3) And they say, "Yep, got it". But they don't tell you. So you have to ask them, "err, you mind telling me what you just calculated? (which in code would be Console.WriteLine(" x " ), code way of saying "TALK TO ME OUT LOUD PLS" They say, "Oh, you never specified that you wanted me to say the result out loud. Ok, well, the result is 27." And then you hit your head against the wall and cry because you ask yourself why you code has to be so specific all the time 😅🥲

Without your C# tutorial, I would not have been able to get through the first part of my online course! ***** I FINISHED THE FIRST PART***** THANK YOU!!!

[@PsychicSploob]

You speak to your audience like you would if you were speaking to other human beings! Such a rare trait in the coding world lol

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

You smart cool teacher. Not slow annoying burnout like all the rest.

[@Cary581]

Thank you for this! Explained so clearly

[@MessingWithCode]

Greattings from Dominican Republic !!!! , Your video was very simple , very quick , very clear , thanks a lot.

[@HasithGunathilake]

Explanations are crystal clear. Best c# tutorial series.

[@andrevj6644]

saving the return was making my confused before but now Im happy. thanks

[@joshuatownsend8241]

Thank you so much. I suspected this was the purpose of returns (besides just exiting methods) for so long but I've felt like no one else could explain to me how they practically work in simple and human terms. Imma subscribe!

[@brianmjacobsen]

Hey Mike! How about sharing some of your awesomeness in Algorithms? Paid, unpaid I am just loving your ways of putting this in context, in depth how it works and how to use it. Thanks again!

[@itech40]

Keep it up! Thanks. I saw you first on FCC!

[@gamingarchive8435]

Awesome explanation man. Clear and precise. Thanks a lot.

[@ethaan5707]

You are the one my friend

[@cheneddie8185]

very helpful and clear

[@daverich3352]

Thanks for explaining that to me, it makes more sense now. I have a comment on the recording of yourself on camera. This may not make any sense but something I observe. Since the camera is close to you the perspective in the recording of yourself is obvious and at odds with perspective I have when viewing the PC screen. It would look better if the camera was further away, you can then zoom in which will flatten the perspective view of yourself. I think it would make the video look better. Just thought I'd mention it.

[@giuseppesalvo5755]

Amazing explanation! Thank you 🙌

[@devmaster7587]

all the respect for the work you are doing, just you should explain to the new programmers that return type should match return type of function, back in the day when i was new no one did properly explained it to me and it was kind of black box for me :P

[@chris8534]

You are smashing it.

[@user-js5ry9ls9v]

why did teach the method before if statement?

[@pop2497]

really good tutorials you have!

[@somyamishra7730]

Hi Mike, just a question ,we have this main method and it also has a parameter of type array so what does it do?

[@kabukijoe99]

good lesson

[@raphaelotojareri1326]

Mike thanks a lot you're the 🐐🐐

[@MsCarbonCopy]

Thank you

[@Jay-og4yb]

Oh I get it Int num is the number the user puts in in this case you wanted to use '5' Then you pass it through an algorithm You set the result of that algorithm to a new variable and then return that variable. Which means that you are replacing num with your new variable. Ie Num = 5 Int result = num * 2 Return result; Num now equals result

[@archstanton9182]

Video was very good, but I would have added that a method should only return at the end of the method or function. If someone has returns at a half a dozen different places in the method, (I have maintained code like that), it becomes difficult to understand what is going on if you didn't write the code. It is better to restructure the code so the return only occurs at the end of the function or method.

[@aliezzaym1735]

thank you man i needed that

[@ITYWTD_]

Does anyone know how to store a return value to a variable? Never mind figured it out lol

[@my_studies2888]

Thank you for videos mike! I downloaded a lot of your videos from freecodecamp, if you don’t mind could I ask you some Qs somewhere ?

[@yazuki1185]

who is the caller

[@Joyosagsm]

So why only use Static when creating a method?

[@thatego9417]

Can you return multiple data types in one method??

[@my_studies2888]

So it always returning something to the USER ?

[@munyamunya313]

thats my question too im so lost

[@timoneri8812]

i return to you a 👍 thank you ! :)

[@matthewel-sirafy7266]

your great, thank you so much

[@TheRouqs]

How to return 2 values ?

[@terezaprochazkova352]

Hi Mike ! Thanks for these vidoes,do you also work in WPF ? I need some help :)

[@munyamunya313]

im lost where is it returning the value

[@thepr1ntgnome430]

Return keyword does not work

[@holovosty]

THNX

[@Darkaz77]

so in other words return is the same as a Console.WriteLine(); ???

[@danielabrenes327]

No, return is used inside a method so when you call it, it gives back a certain value. But the value is just obtained, you aren't showing it on the console. That's why then you use Console.WriteLine(), to display the value.

[@Darkaz77]

@@danielabrenes327 I understand, thank you

[@my_studies2888]

Daniela Brenes you’re the First to explain it in laymen terms, THANK YOU❤️

[@jasondotjson34]

Thanks! ;)

[@khojiakbarkhonisakov7785]

Cool

Your explaination is good but i notice sometimes you have spaghetti code.
