Error “this method must return a result of type int”?

Question

I have this code below and it keep telling me that thanksgiving() must return a result type of int. I have casted all the results just to make sure, but nothing seems to be work

Answer 1

All the returns are in if statements, in this case, compiler sees that there might be a situation in which the function won't return anything. You need to add one return outside any ifs or in an else statement.
