Is there a difference between a function with and without a return statement?

Question

Say you have 2 identical functions that do not return a value

function a() {
    // do some interesting things
}

function b() {
    // do the same interesti         


        

Answer 1

There's no real difference; both will return undefined.

Functions with no return statement will return undefined, as will functions with an empty return statement.

To confirm this for yourself, you can run this code -- FIDDLE:

​function a() {
}

function b() {
    return;
}

var aResult = a();
var bResult = b();

alert(aResult === bResult);  //alerts true
