Return statement to exit function prematurely

A return statement can also be used to exit the function prematurely in JavaScript in those cases where the condition is met.

Example: Using a return statement to early exit from the function based on certain conditions.

Javascript




function isDivisible(number)
{
  if(number%2==0)
  {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}
console.log(` Number is divisble by 2: ${isDivisible(107)}`)
console.log(` Number is divisble by 2: ${isDivisible(24)}`)


Output

 Number is divisble by 2: false
 Number is divisble by 2: true
