bookReturning Data from Functions

We can return any kind of value from a function using a return statement.


              
123456

            
function sum(a, b) { 
  return a + b;
}

let result = sum(10, 15);
console.log(result); // Output: 25
copy

General Syntax

The general syntax of a return statement is

return <value>;

Where <value> is optional. If no value is provided, the function returns undefined:


              
1234567

            
function exampleFunc() {
  console.log("In the Function");
  return;
}

let result = exampleFunc();
console.log("Return value if nothing is returned:", result); // Output: undefined
copy

How It Works?

The return statement stops the execution of the function, and returns to the point in code the function where it was called. Therefore, any code after return is ignored:


              
1234567891011

            
function exampleFunc() {
  console.log(1);
  console.log(2);
  return true; // Execution stops here
  console.log(4); // Ignored
  console.log(5); // Ignored
}

console.log("Before Function Call");
console.log(exampleFunc()); // Output: true
console.log("After Function Call");
copy
