Return Values from JavaScript Functions

[tanatchas]

I am a beginner and I have been stuck with this topic for so long, this video literally save me! Thank you so much.

Came to watch to help me better understand return values. Having a tough time grasping it. Great video but I'm just as confused as before... Haha... Guess I have to keep practicing...

[justinstewart]

Awesome job explaining this. I've also been struggling with return values and this def made it all make sense to me. Thank you 🤓👍

[tvs]

All around very good lesson & video. Covered some new stuff I needed to learn. Nice, clean audio. Well produced.

[oluyomiimisioluwa]

Wow thank you so much
I really enjoyed this class

[smbunation]

This is so fantastic! You have helped me with multiple disciplines I need to teach! :D

Gday, this is a great video. Love how you explain what the return is, and secondly, how to call functions from other functions. You sir, are an amazing educator. I was stuck thinking the word/string immediately after return, was a new variable i could pull. But its literally, what is this function "returning" (if anything). Great work, thanks for the help.

This is awesome. Thank you. But I need help cause in my own case, there is another input space to display the answer and I do not know how to go about it having tried multiple ways. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Sir I always get Nan in the return. It says there is a problem in console.log(sum): and sub.

If you can help me with that please help me

Problem with all these demos on using HTML Id's is nobody ever takes the values calculated back to the HTML page. Console doesn't do me any good.

It’s extremely hard to find an explanation that is meant for beginners. Non of these videos keep the explanation simple, the assumption is made that everyone looking for this information is already a programmer ..
