hi,
'return' is used to return a value, and end the method processing.
at the end of a method, 'return' is indeed not needed, and simply that valu=
e
will suffice, though i think a return looks nicer ;-)
a good example where a return is needed, is this:

  def method(arg)
    if arg.class=3D=3DString
      return "invalid argument"
    end
    #rest of processing
  end

this looks a lot nicer than placing your entire method in if/else code.
greetings, Dirk.
