Sometimes one error will mask anothers. I remember a couple of years
ago one Java novice posted his code to a web forum complaining that
he was getting one single compilation error on the first line. When
it was pointed out to him that the line contained a syntax error, he
retorted that he knew it did, but when he'd corrected the syntax the
compiler had given him over a hundred errors in the following code!
(True story!!)
Obviously if the method returns a value, it must say so in its defin-
ition. The true error is the "missing return statement". Take a close
look at the code in your method, and you'll see there is a route through
the code which allows the end of the method to be reached, and no return
value specified. Java is very strict on these things - a method either
always or never returns something - there isn't a 'sometimes' option. So
you need to ammend the code so all routes out will end in a valid return
statement.
