    void loop() {
      int t = timestwo(val);
      Serial.println(t);
    }

Description |  | Keyword used to indicate the value to return from a function. The value being returned must be the same datatype as defined in the function declaration. Functions declared with void can't return values and shouldn't include a return value. The keyword return may also be used to break out of a function thus not allowing the program to read the remaining statements (see the third example above).

    type function {
      statements
      return value

type |  | boolean, byte, char, int, float, String, boolean[], byte[], char[], int[], float[], String[]
function |  | any function that is being defined
statements |  | any valid statements
