113: Mainline

Because displayMovieRating has no return statement, it is said to fall off its end, returning nothing; that behavior is allowed for only those methods that have a void return type.

Picky programmers think that defining a method that can fall off its end is inelegant. Those programmers write empty return statements, as in the following slightly amended version of displayMovieRating:

public class Demonstrate {
 public static void main (String argv[]) {
  int script = 6, acting = 9, direction = 8;
  displayMovieRating(script, acting, direction);
 }
 public static void displayMovieRating (int s, int a, int d) {
  System.out.print("The rating of the movie is ");
  System.out.println(s + a + d);
  return; 
 }  
}
