All these are boolean values. What i am trying to do is if any of them is true, then return true.
But i still dont understand why it is giving me errorsIt's the
return true;
that's the problem.
You must make sure that every logical paths through the method ends with a return statement. In your case it doesn't if
if(parcelIsFull() || hcparcelIsFull() || noSharingParcel())
is false. So add
return false;
just before the method ends.
Or, as an experience programmer would, do this instead,
return parcelIsFull() || hcparcelIsFull() || noSharingParcel();
