Common questions about /return

›What does return fail do?

It ends the function with no result at all, so an execute if function wrapped around it counts as failed rather than returning zero.

›Does /return stop every function in the chain?

No. It ends only the function it is written in. Whatever called that function carries on from the next line, receiving the returned value.
