Lære Return Values | Working with Function Data and Scope

The return statement is a fundamental feature in JavaScript functions. It allows a function to send a value back to the part of the program where it was called. When you use return, the function stops executing and immediately provides the specified value to the caller. This is how functions can produce results that can be stored in variables, used in expressions, or passed to other functions. Without a return statement, a function completes its instructions but does not provide any value back, so it returns undefined by default.

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

const result = sum(3, 7);
console.log("The sum is:", result);

Some functions are designed to produce a result and return it, while others simply perform an action without returning anything. When a function has a return statement with a value, you can use that value elsewhere in your code. If a function does not explicitly return a value, JavaScript automatically returns undefined. Functions that return values are useful for calculations, data processing, and any situation where the result needs to be reused. Functions without return values are often used for tasks like logging, updating the user interface, or triggering side effects.

function calculator(a, b, operation) {
  if (operation === "add") {
    return a + b;
  } else if (operation === "subtract") {
    return a - b;
  } else if (operation === "multiply") {
    return a * b;
  } else if (operation === "divide") {
    return a / b;
  } else {
    return "Unknown operation";
  }
}

console.log("Add:", calculator(4, 2, "add"));
console.log("Subtract:", calculator(4, 2, "subtract"));
console.log("Multiply:", calculator(4, 2, "multiply"));
console.log("Divide:", calculator(4, 2, "divide"));
console.log("Unknown:", calculator(4, 2, "modulo"));
