To specify the return-type of the function.
In C/C++ programming and most other procedural languages, you use a return statement to return control to the calling function. In the case of the global main function, a returnstatement terminates the program, releasing all memory used by the program and returning control to the execution environment.Functions that return void do not return a value and therefore do not require a return statement, unless the function needs to return early (before falling off the end of the function). Functions that return values must use a returnstatement to return the appropriate value to the caller.In C++ (but not in C), the global main function does not require a return statement unless returning early. When omitted, the global main function implicitly returns the value 0 (to the execution environment) when execution falls off the end of the function. To return any other value, a return statement is required.
No, it is a function. But printf does return a value: the number of characters it has written.
Use the help/manual.
Well, it depends on what you mean by the type of a function. There are user defined functions and library functions.
Surprise, surprise: returning from a function.

It means end the function. Functions automatically end when execution reaches the end of the function, but you can return from a function at any point within the function with a return statement. If the function returns a value to its caller, you must provide a reachable return statement along with the value you wish to return.
Classes cannot return values, only functions can return values. But you cannot return a function from a function, you can only return a function pointer -- a pointer variable holding the address of the function you wish to return. All possible return values must be of the same type, therefore all function signatures and return types must be exactly the same -- only the name of the functions can differ.
