Java - Missing return statement

Question

I get an error - \"missing return statement\" - on line 26, which in this case is the last curly bracket in the code. I know that it literally means that I have to return somewh

Answer 1

public String[] OpenFile() // expected return type is String array

But you didn't return that from your method.

If you don't want to return that change your method return type to void(no return)

public void OpenFile() throws IOException {

}

Or if you want to return as expected use

public String[] OpenFile() throws IOException {

 String[] arr=new String[5];

 // implementation

 return arr; 

}
