Missing return statement

Reports missing return statements at the end of methods with a non-void return type. The end of method should be reachable by the method's execution flow.

Example:

String foo(int a) { if (a > 0) { return "more than zero" } } // foo(-1) will return 'null' int bar(int a) { if (a > 0) { return a } } // bar(-1) will fall with runtime exception
