I tried that and instead of saying "missing return statement" it said "missing return value". I just put "return;" just before the final right-brace of the method.
Have a great day, Alex

If you have all the opening and closing braces the compiler might
be
complaining because you don't have a sure return. This is not
normal for a
compiler but I don't know what compiler your using. So you can
try putting
a return at the end of the function right before the last } and
that should
do the trick.

Odd, I put all the braces in my original email. I opened the
method, two
for loops, an if statement, and an else statement and closed them
all. My
bn, on which I wrote that message, must have not liked it that I
put them
all on separate lines; it seems to do odd things with punctuation
just
before a new line if that punctuation is not connected to a word.
Have a great day, Alex

Hi Alex, You have several opening braces with no closing brace.Both "for"statements have an opening brace but no closing brace. Also,your "if" and"else" statements have opening braces with no closing brace.

Hi all. Yet again I have what to many of you is no doubt a verysimplequestion, but it is not making sense. I have a method that ischeckingcollisions on a battleship grid. It is an integer method thatreturns 0if a collision is detected and 1 if there is no problem. Thecompiler,however, keeps saying that I am missing a return statement whenI clearlyhave two, one in an if statement and the second in a relatedelse. Hereis the method:
public static int checkCollisions(int[][] grid){ int i,j; for(i=0;i<grid.length;i++){ for(j=0;j<grid[i].length;j++){ if(grid[i][j]<=2){ return 0;
else{ return 1;
