Writing return statements

Don't use parentheses [()] with any return statements that have values. The only time to use parentheses with return statements is when they make the value more obvious, as shown in the third line of the following ActionScript code snippet:

return;
return myCar.paintColor;
// parentheses used to make the return value obvious
return ((paintColor)? paintColor: defaultColor);
