An impure function does not return anything. That is what my computer textbook says. I am not sure it is correct as by definition an impure function is a function which changes the state of the parameters passed to it. The parameter is generally an object.
eg:
void impurefunc(Class object)
{
object.var = 9; //object's variable changed
}
If it returns anything does it remain impure?

It's wrong. An impure function can indeed return anything after doing whatever impure things it does. This is true in Java and every other language I know of.
