C＃; 并非所有代码路径都返回值

Question

I have been looking for a post that can actually help me figure this out, the thing is I am very new, as in within my first 30 days of seriously learning to code. Here is my code;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string name;             //Employee Name added to nameList
        double payRate;          //Employee Pay Rate added to rateList
        double hoursWorked;      //Integer associated with how many hours the employee worked, multiplied by payRate
        bool addMore;

        List<string> nameList = new List<string>();
        List<double> rateList = new List<double>();
        List<double> hWorkedList = new List<double>();
    }

    public static object PayRollMethod(string name, double payRate, double hoursWorked, bool addMore, List<string> nameList, List<double> rateList, List<double> hWorkedList)
    {
        Console.Write("Enter employee name: ");
        name = Console.ReadLine();
        nameList.Add(name);      //adds the name entered to the namesList

        Console.Write("What is the pay rate for this employee: ");
        payRate = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
        rateList.Add(payRate);  //adds the payRate to the rateList, as a double

        Console.Write("How many hours did the employee work? ");
        hoursWorked = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
        hWorkedList.Add(hoursWorked);

        Console.Write("Do you need to add any other employees? Y or N");
        addMore = Convert.ToBoolean(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.ReadKey();  //holds the console open after the program finishes

    }


}

When I try and run it I get an error with the PayRollMethod giving me the error listed.

I think that the issue is the boolean at the bottom (addMore), I have that as it will signal the program to either restart the user input section, or prompt the user to either exit or edit an entry. I am still trying to figure out the best way to implement the loop, so I haven't typed up that part yet.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

You declared PayRollMethod with an object return type, that means you must return an object instance before you leave the method. If you don't want to return any value, then you can declare the method with void return type.
