Answer 2

return (a,b);

/ return statement will not return two values here
it will return only b

Answer 3

why

Answer 4

return statements sends back only one result to validate it

Answer 5

Thank You so much! Can u explain to me this. Why doesn't the function stop at return as return is supposed to stop the execution of a function. So shouldn't the answer be 3 rather then 5

function test(x)
{while (x<5){x++;}return x;}
alert(test(2));

Answer 6

the last value is 5 because x is incremented to 1 and returns 5

Answer 7

when 2 gets incremented to 3, why doesn't the function stop and return the final value as 3?

Answer 8

its while loop , it will not end until the statement becomes false

Answer 9

if you want to return when x=3 , put if else statement

Answer 10

a = 6
b = 7
returns the highest number between these 2 numbers

Answer 11

Hi Raul Oliva. Just to correct your statement,

function myFunction(a, b, c) {

a++;
b++;
c++;
return (a,b,c);

}

var x = myFunction(5, 9, 7);
document.write(x); //Outputs : 8

Although highest value is 10, it only returns the last calculated value, which is 8
