Is else required in this code

Question

function checkAge(age)
{
if (age > 18)
{
return true;
}
else
{

return confirm('Did parents allow you?');
}
}
Will the function work differently if else is removed?

function checkAge(age)
{
if (age > 18)
{
return true;
}

return confirm('Did parents allow you?');
}

Answer 1

There are only 2 scenarios.
1) age > 18
If this is true, it returns true.
2) age < 18
If case 1 fails, this is by default true. You don't have to include else because in both case it will exit as soon as it hits the return statement.

Answer 2

It is not required because u re using the return keyword which will end the execution anyway otherwise if u were just printing a message the else required to show two different messages
