You can always have return. This method effectively does nothing though

(as you wouldn't know from calling the method whether the String *was* null)

So is it the same as:<br />
<br />
public void setVal(String val)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (val == null)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }
</div>



So is it the same as:

public void setVal(String val)
    {
        if (val == null)
        {
           
        }
    }

I see, thanks everyone ;)

What is going on in this method? Even though its a void return type is has a return? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; public void setVal(String val)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (valr == null)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Dont understand a method

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
