}
void test(){
int x = 5;

public class returntest{
public static void main(String[] args)

returntest a = new returntest();
a.test();
}

return;
// If return is not enclosed within a try catch block, 5 will be blocked.
System.out.println(x); //5
}
}
public class returntest{
public static void main(String[] args){
returntest a = new returntest();
a.test();
}
int test(){
int x = 5;
return 5;
// If the function specifies a return value and returns one such as this one does,// in the absence of a try/catch block, the compiler throws 2 errors // (1).Missing return statement??? and (2) the infamous unreachable statement. System.out.println(x); // **5** }} public class returntest{ public static void main(String[] args){ returntest a = new returntest(); a.test(); } int test(){ int x = 5; try{ return 5; }/* If the function returns a value and even if the return statement is enclosed within a try-catch block, the compiler throws an error. However, if the function does not return any value, then it is fine (but the try-catch block must remain intact). Irrespective of whether a function returns a value or not, even if the return statement is enclosed within a try block and there a finally block but no catch block, the compiler launches into hysteria. */
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("In catch : " + x);
}
finally{
System.out.println("In Finally : " + x);
}
System.out.println(x); // 5
}
}

Well...I told you this stuff would be nasty...
Cheers!

when i compiled some of the code from above discussion, i was getting compiler error.
getting error in the following code for "Unreachable statement."
public class returntest{
public static void main(String[] args){
returntest a = new returntest();
a.test();
}
void test(){
int x = 5;
try{
return; // Specifying a return here is OK and will not cause an error in **5**
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("In catch : " + x);
}
System.out.println(x); // **5**
}
}
i apologize if you have already discussed this before.

You can use the button to edit your posts.
Also (note how I edited my own post) you can use the tags to include indented code. Look at the UBB Code info page.

Hi SaiPrasad,
Now that you posted it twice what is your problem? You are showing us code that has numerous comments in it and not asking anything from us. Use smaller examples when you post. That will do 1 of 2 things:
1. You will figure out your own problem by trying to get a small test program for help, or
2. Someone will be able to help you here without psychic intervention.
Regards,
Manfred.

thanks david for a valuable solution.
Manfred Leonhardt,
i apologize for not properly indenting, actually i indented all the code in a java editor and pasted here, i dont no how it became unindented.
here my question is
when i compiled some of the code from http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/012797.html
i was getting compiler error.
got error in the following code for "Unreachable statement."
public class returntest{
public static void main(String[] args){
returntest a = new returntest();
a.test();
}
void test(){
int x = 5;
try{
return;
/*Specifying a return here is OK and will not cause an error in 5*/
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("In catch : " + x);
}
System.out.println(x); // **5**
}
}
but in this link[URL=http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/012797.html], author of this code says it does'nt give an error.
Saiprasad.

i think this compile time error is due to System.out.println code after the return; statement.
