why does it stop after finding the first letter

Question

function ind(word,letter){
for(var i=0;i<word.length;i++){
if(word.slice(i,i+1)==letter){
return "the index is "+i
}
}
}

alert(ind("banana","a"))

i want to ask why doesnt the loop continue till the end

Answer 1

The return statement immediately stops executing the function and returns control back to the caller. That is its purpose.
