The return type must be specified before the method's signature when declaring the method.
There are several different data types that can be used as a method return type in Java, including primitive data types (e.g. int, double, char), object data types (e.g. Strings, Objects) and the void data type.
The void keyword in Java is used to specify that a method does not return any value. It is a return type that indicates the method performs an action but does not produce a result that can be used elsewhere in the code.
Java supports passing multiple arguments to a method, returning multiple values from a method, having multiple classes in a Java program, and having the same name in the same class.
