Answer 1

You declare the return type of the method, and then use the return keyword to return a value which you can assign to a variable.
As the other respondent said, you cannot return more than one value from a function. If you need to return two related values, you may want to enclose them in a class and return an instance of that class. For instance:
class TimeValue {
   final int x;
   final int y;
public TimeValue(int x, int y) {
   this.x = x;
   this.y = y;
}Then your method could create a new TimeValues and return it:
public TimeValue time(int x,int y){
   int xx = x;
   int yy = y;
   ++xx;
   ++yy;
   return new TimeValue(xx, yy);
}
