A return statement ends the function it is used in and presents what you state as the output of that function.

Example:

int addition (int a, int b) // a function that takes two inputs
{
  int r; 
  r=a+b; // processes the input
  return r; // this is what the functions outputs whilst at the same time ends the function operation
}
