I have a function that looks like this:
function MyFunction() {
//do some work
if (SomeCondition === true) {
//do some work
FunctionToCall();
}
//do some more work
}
function FunctionToCall() {...}
If ever I call the FunctionToCall(), I don't want to continue with do some more work. Do I need to put a return true or return false statement after the FunctionToCall(); statement? It seems to work with both.
Thanks.
As you said, you would need to put a return after the call to FunctionToCall. By the sound of it, it doesn't matter what you return (this will return undefined):
if (SomeCondition === true) {
//do some work
FunctionToCall();
return;
}
If you did care about the result of FunctionToCall, you could return the value returned from that:
return FunctionToCall();
Alternatively, you could use an else, and not bother with a return statement (this will return undefined too):
if (SomeCondition === true) {
//do some work
FunctionToCall();
}
else {
//do some more work
}
You can just do a return;, since you are ignoring the return value of the function.
yes you will have to put a return statement after or just before a call to next function like this
return FunctionToCall();
or
FunctionToCall();
return;
If you are always using MyFunction() in a void-context, use return;
If FunctionToCall() might also be invoked in a different context, I prefer putting return true/false in the next line.
return;It doesn't have to be true or false.
