How to get a return type?

[Tom]

Hi,

I have a question. I have two methods below.

public void A() {
//some code

return;
}

public boolean B() {

//I want to call A(), but how can I return something like true, or false

}

Simplicity itself:

public boolean B() {
A(); // calls A()
return true; // returns "something like" true or false
}

If you don't find this answer satisfactory, please explain
your goals in more detail. For example, describing why this
answer doesn't meet your needs might be a good start.

I'm not sure what you're asking. A() can not return anything, since
it's declared void. B() can return something. If you want B to call A
and then return something, it looks like this:

public boolean B()
{
A();
return true;
}

Incidentally, it would be better to name those methods a and b, not A
and B. Method names in Java begin with lower-case letters.
