I need help returning a variable from one method to the main method of my program, plain and simple I cant find how to do it.

Can anyone explain how i would go about doing this?

what i mean by this is
if i were to make

public static void main(string[] args)
{
}
public static void vars(string[]args)
{
string name ="Alan"
}

how would i send the information held in name back to main?

Do you know what "void" means?

Java:

class Testing
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String myName = vars();
    System.out.println(myName);
  }
  public static String vars()
  {
    return "Alan";
  }
}

This is why I don't like the curriculum, they don't teach you any of the underlying concepts before teaching you the syntax. Our teacher says to us, and I quote: "You need to put public static void main( String args[] ) because you have to memorize it, without it you cannot write a program".

I mean seriously. Problems like this arise.
