At first glance, both functions getUser1()
and getUser2()
appear similar, intending to return an object with the name
property set to "Saidali"
. However, there is a crucial difference that impacts the behavior of getUser2()
.
In getUser2()
, a line break appears immediately after the return statement:
Due to JavaScript's Automatic Semicolon Insertion (ASI) mechanism
, a semicolon is automatically inserted after the return statement, treating it as a complete statement on its own. As a result, the subsequent object block is treated as a separate code block and is not associated with the return statement.
Therefore, the return statement in getUser2()
effectively returns nothing, resulting in the value undefined
. The object block following the return statement is not executed or processed.
You can copy here:
// getUser1
function getUser1() {
return {
name: "Saidali",
};
}
// getUser2
function getUser2() {
return
{
name: "Saidali";
}
}
