Function Return

We have sent values to a function, but what about getting information back? All functions return to the location from which they are called and they return data using the “return” keyword. If you do not use the “return” keyword, the function will return “undefined”.

function add( num1, num2 ) {
    let newNum = num1 + num2;
    return newNum;
}
let addSum = add( 1, 2 ); // Variable to hold function call. Allows ease of use.
console.log( addSum ); // Displays 3

Happy Coding!

Unleashing Creativity with the Canvas API

The Canvas API stands as one of the web’s most powerful tools for creating dynamic, interactive graphics. Unlike SVG, Canvas operates at the pixel level, making it ideal for games, data visualizations, and real-time graphics processing. With a simple HTML element and JavaScript, developers can create everything from basic shapes to complex animations that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser.
