Title Body

What does the return inside the if statements do in the following code? public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException { depth++; if (localName.equals("channel")) { currentstate = 0; return; } if (localName.equals("image")) { // record our feed data - you temporarily stored it in the item :) _feed.setTitle(_item.getTitle()); _feed.setPubDate(_item.getPubDate()); } if (localName.equals("item")) { // create a new item _item = new RSSItem(); return; } if (localName.equals("title")) { currentstate = RSS_TITLE; return; } if (localName.equals("description")) { currentstate = RSS_DESCRIPTION; return; } if (localName.equals("link")) { currentstate = RSS_LINK; return; } if (localName.equals("category")) { currentstate = RSS_CATEGORY; return; } if (localName.equals("pubDate")) { currentstate = RSS_PUBDATE; return; } // if you don't explicitly handle the element, make sure you don't wind // up erroneously storing a newline or other bogus data into one of our // existing elements currentstate = 0; } Does it takes us out of the if statement and proceeds to next statement or it takes us out of the method startElement?
