Question

please ?when we use console.log and when we use return?

Answer 1

console.log is used to output to the console... Return will pass the return value back to the caller

function getstuff(){
return "stufff";
}

If you call
getstuff();

There will be no output to the console..
If you call
console.log(getstuff());

Then the console will output what is returned by getstuff() or "stuff"

If you want the function to do it you could rewrite the function to something like..

function getstuff(){
var stuff = "stuff";
console.log(stuff);
return stuff;
}

Then when you call
getstuff();

The console will output stuff and your return value will be stuff.. Or you could..

var s = getstuff();

console.log(s);

A function must always have a return in js. In more advanced languages functions can be a void function and not have a return.. But in js you can just write return; for a void function that has no return value...

Answer 2

Return is used at the end of a function.
