JavaScript Return Values

Learn the basics of JavaScript Return Values

Every function returns a value, which by default is undefined.

Any function is terminated when its lines of code end, or when the execution flow finds a return keyword.

When JavaScript encounters this keyword it exits the function execution and gives control back to its caller.

If you pass a value, that value is returned as the result of the function:

const dosomething = () => {  return 'test' } const result = dosomething() // result === 'test'
