Functions that return nothing still have a return type of "void" and any other function will return a value of the type declared for the function. You can see from the documentation above that the ReadKey() method does not return a "char" type (where "char" is simply an alias for "System.Char"). But, if you look closely at the documentation for the type it _does_ return ("System.ConsoleKeyInfo"), you will find a property (I will leave the finding of that property as an exercise for you, the reader) in that type that returns the _actual_ "char" for the key pressed, assuming one exists. And note: there won't necessarily be a proper "char" value for every key that might be pressed, because not every key on the keyboard corresponds to a specific Unicode character. That's why ReadKey() returns a more general-purpose value than just a plain character. So that console applications can react precisely to specific key inputs, rather than being limited to what can be represented as text (getch() "solves" this by returning special character sequences instead�not a very good solution, frankly).
