Return

[Duc Nguy]

it keep asking for return type. What should i put in here to get it to stop the eroor
public static goForward(Drivable sedan)
{
sedan.accelerate();
sedan.decelerate();
}
public static turn(Drivable sedan, int direction)
{
sedan.decelerate();
sedan.turn(direction);
sedan.accelerate();

If you don't want to return anything than use the word "void" as the return type.

[Ben Roy]

public static goForward(Drivable sedan) {}
should be:
public static < returnTypeGoesHere > goForward(Drivable sedan) {}
If you don't want to return anything, do this:
public static void goForward(Drivable sedan) {}
(edited by Cindy to put spaces by the angle brackets.)

Heh...apparently this board doesn't have a filter to watch < and > tags. There's also no edit feature. You can ignore the first part of my message where I said it should look like this: and just pay attention to he last line with the void in it.

if you want return type then it would be like this
public static int(or any Data type) goForward(Drivable sedan) {}
and if u don't want return type then just put void instead of return type because void doesn't return.
public static void goForward(Drivable sedan) {}
