Undestanding return()

As soon as you execute the 'return' , the value is returned.

did not show is did the code have if-then-else to go down separate
paths.

Here, I have following generic function:



Fn1<- function(x) {

                ........

                return(x)  # assume x is calculated in previous steps



                .........

                return(y)  # assume y is calculated in previous steps



                ..........

                return(z)  # assume z is calculated in previous steps

}



In this case what fn1 will return. Is it the value of "x" all the time? And
hence this function will never calculate y and z?



Thanks and regards,
