A Question about Functions

I know this may sound like a dumb question but I got to know since I have been trying to find an answer but can't find any. I noticed that in some functions, after the parentheses, the function is assigned a type? For example

Public Function getConn(ByVal AppId As String, ByVal TranId As String) As String

and it returns a value call sRet

After the parentheses, why is there an "As String"?

It's defining the return type.

If you did something like 

connection = getConn("1", "2")

then connection would be a string, that probably contains the connection string.

You can do other return types as well, such as Int, Float etc.
