    Default Re: what is wrong with my return statement??????

    The problem is exactly what the compiler describes..missing return. For both functions, the code returns true under a particular condition, but it also needs to return a value of that condition is not met
    public boolean conditional(){
        if(true){
            return true;
        }
        return false;//returns a value if the above condition is not met. 
    }
