return Statement
A return statement signals the end of a function.
return [value];
The simplest return statement returns control from the function to the calling program; it returns no value.
void main()
{
return ;
}
However, a return statement can return one or more values. This example returns a literal value:
float main( float input : COLOR0) : COLOR0
{
return 0;
}
This example returns the scalar result of an expression.
return light.enabled = true ;
This example returns a four-component vector that is constructed from a local variable and a literal.
return float4(color.rgb, 1) ;
This example returns a four-component vector that is constructed from the result that is returned from an intrinsic function, together with literal values.
float4 func(float2 a: POSITION): COLOR
{
return float4(sin(length(a) * 100.0) * 0.5 + 0.5, sin(a.y * 50.0), 0, 1);
}
This example returns a structure that contains one or more members.
float4x4 WorldViewProj;
struct VS_OUTPUT
{
float4 Pos : POSITION;
};
VS_OUTPUT VertexShader_Tutorial_1(float4 inPos : POSITION )
{
VS_OUTPUT out;
out.Pos = mul(inPos, WorldViewProj );
return out;
};
