Answer 1

An anonymous method can return a value using a func delegate. Here is an example where I have shown how to return a value using an anonymous method.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {


        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Func del = delegate (int x)
              {
                  return x * x;

              };

            int p= del(4);
            Console.WriteLine(p);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
