Why does this code prints not only the argument passed to the function but also an undefined type.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding but what I was saying is, when you use "console.log" it mean that you are printing something on console. //Declaration of a function to print a variable name on console function sayName (name) { console.log(name) } The when you write console.log(sayName('e')) It means you are parsing a value "e" to a function so the statement starts with a function call. Then on console.log() there is no variable that's why it prints "undefined" This means when you call console.log(sayName ('e')) console.log(sayName ('f')) It will print e undefined f undefined

Hi! because console.log after execution cannot return anything back. function sayName(name){ console.log(name) } sayName('e')

The “undefined” value The special value undefined also stands apart. It makes a type of its own, just like null. The meaning of undefined is “value is not assigned”. If a variable is declared, but not assigned, then its value is undefined: let age; alert(age); // shows "undefined" Technically, it is possible to explicitly assign undefined to a variable: let age = 100; // change the value to undefined age = undefined; alert(age); // "undefined" …But we don’t recommend doing that. Normally, one uses null to assign an “empty” or “unknown” value to a variable, while undefined is reserved as a default initial value for unassigned things.

Manoti (Challenge Accepted) first of all you are wrong for assuming what i wanted to do(because i was just playing around to learn) And you also didn't answer why my code( console.log(sayName('e')) prints undefined.

You declared a function with it's statement to print the name. Also when calling the function you are also using a statement to print your function. You should just call the function function sayName(name){ console.log(name) } sayName("e")
