Unreachable statement

[lala]

all i want to do is print the values returned by the method test. No matter where I put the system.out.print statement, the compiler "barks".
Everything I've read tells me that these errors will occur, BUT they do not tell me how to resolve the errors. (arrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh) I should taken quantum physics. Insanity would've overcome me sooner :mad:

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;  
	 
	public class Ex6e {
	
	public static void main(String[] args)  {
	}
	public static int test (int x, char ch, double d, int y) {
  		
  		x = 5;
		ch = 'z';
		d = 7.3;
		y=5;
		
		return (x);
		System.out.print(x);					
				
		}
 }

Errors:
Ex6e.java:16: unreachable statement
System.out.print(x);
^
Ex6e.java:18: missing return statement
}

[eRaaaa]

in the line before , with return (x) you leave the method, so the System.out is unreachable!
change these two lines !

Once a method calls returns, the method ends. You've got a statement after the return that will never be called.

Many,many thanks eRaaaa, & Fubarable.
Deep gratitude.
