An Example of a return function
function add15(number) {
let newNumber = number + 15;
return newNumber;
}
let fifteen = add15(5);
console.log(fifteen);
function add(a, b) {
return a + b; //Return stops the execution of this function
}
var sum = add(5, 24); //The value that was returned got but inside the variable sum
// Javascript double parentheses
// first function call result in a function that is called
function a() {
return (name = 'b') => console.log(`I'm function ${name} produced by a()`);
}
a()();
a()('b2');
// result :
// I'm function b produced by a()
// I'm function b2 produced by a()
//The return statement ends function execution,
//and specifies a value to be returned to the function caller.
