return statement

[Bin Zhao]

Khalid's book said return; can exist in initializers(P149).But when I compile the following code,the compiler complains
public class MQ7
{
int i=0;
{
i=8;
return;
}
public MQ7()
{
i=10;
return;
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
MQ7 tf = new MQ7();
}
}
Did I miss something?

In the errata for Khalid, the workds 'and initializer' have been removed. So you are right, you can't use it in initializers.

Yes u did, u cannot do this kind of operation within the body of class itself, it has to b within a method, constructor or a
main body for ot to work...
