If you'll recall from our discussion about <a href="/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/basic-javascript/storing-values-with-the-assignment-operator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Storing Values with the Assignment Operator</a>, everything to the right of the equal sign is resolved before the value is assigned. This means we can take the return value of a function and assign it to a variable.
Assume we have defined a function sum which adds two numbers together.
ourSum = sum(5, 12);
Calling the sum function with the arguments of 5 and 12 produces a return value of 17. This return value is assigned to the ourSum variable.
Call the processArg function with an argument of 7 and assign its return value to the variable processed.
processed should have a value of 2
assert(processed === 2);
You should assign processArg to processed
assert(/processed\s*=\s*processArg\(\s*7\s*\)/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));
// Setup
let processed = 0;
function processArg(num) {
return (num + 3) / 5;
}
// Only change code below this line
var processed = 0;
function processArg(num) {
return (num + 3) / 5;
}
processed = processArg(7);
