Return (programming) - Definition and Overview

In computer programming, subprograms (functions) will "return" to the higher-level programs, which called them; return ends the current task. In C++, return <X>; (where <X> is an expression) is a statement of code which tells a function to return the execution, of the program, to the calling function, and report the value of <X>.
