no, every function can not return a value. for example
void name()
{
cout<<"Hello world";
}
this function does not return any value due to the key word void that tells the compiler that the function does not returns a value.
No.
Return value 1 from a function is a true value and generally means success. Return value 1 from the outermost function, i.e. to the shell, however, is a failure indication, and the value is dependent on the design of the code. In other words: context-dependent, always consult the documentation.
The function header. The return value is written before the name of the function. This return type must match the type of the value returned in a return statement.
return
echo 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.

Below is a simple example of how you could return a value in a PHP function. <?php function returnme($value) { return $value; } echo returnme('hello'); // outputs: hello ?>

Where there is no need to return any type of value from a function
No, it is a function. But printf does return a value: the number of characters it has written.
The return statement is used in functions to return control to the caller. If the function is declared non-void, the return statement also allows the programmer to return a value to the caller.
It depends on the function in question.
In most computer languages, a procedure that returns a value is called a function and a procedure that does not return a value is called a subroutine or subprogram. Usually the languages treat the passing of arguments/parameters differently between functions and subroutines. The C language does not distinguish between them. A subroutine that does not return a value is define as a "void" function indicating that no return value is used or available.
In Java, this keyword is used to specify that the method has no return value.
