if (y <= 100) {

}else {System.out.println("*****.y= " + y);}

}
Please explain me the output

Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.

Please post your code correctly per the above link.

We are less likely to give you answers like "explain the output" than we are to discuss your explanation. You tell us what you think and why, and we'll gladly discuss your thoughts.

public class AA {


int add(int i) {
int y = i;
y += 20;
System.out.println("*.y= " + y);

if (y <= 100) {
y +=30;
System.out.println("**.y= " + y);
add(y); // second call
System.out.println("***.y= " + y);

}else {System.out.println("*****.y= " + y);}

System.out.println("Final Value of y : " + y);
return y;
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
AA obj = new AA();


System.out.println("At Last x: " + obj.add(5));

}

}

Here I can't get why obj.add(5) returns 55 instead of 125. What's the role of return statement here. Please clear it .
