What does the method signature

public int getorder()

mean? And does the method actually fulfill that contract?

You have declared the method getOrder() to have a return type of type integer. You currently aren't returning anything therefore you get the error. Try returning the value like this:

public int getorder()
{
nooforders = 500;
return nooforders;
}

Well, a lot of good it did to ask the OP those questions.
