Return String

[Robo15]

What is the point in returning the string, cause when I remove the method I can still see and type in the question in the inspector. I know returning can terminate a code block, but I’m wondering what returning the string does.

Hi,

“Returning a string” returns a string and terminates the method. Apart from that, it does not do anything.

When you call, for example, GetInstanceID(), which is a Unity method, that method returns an integer. You can assign the returned int value to a variable.

int id = GetInstanceID();

string question = yourVariable.GetQuestion();

int userID = 12345;
string username = someVariable.GetUsername(userID);

Calling methods on the right-handed side works with “return” methods only because we cannot assign “nothing” to a variable.

Is this what you wanted to know?
