As you have seen before, functions can return a value using the return keyword. The return keyword is used to return a value from a function. When the return keyword is used, the function will stop executing and return the value specified after the return keyword.

function add(a, b) {
  return a + b
}

console.log(add(2, 3)); // Output: 5

But what happens if the return keyword is used before the end of the function? To answer this question, consider the following example:

function add(a, b) {
  if(a > 2){
    return b;
  }

  return a + b;
}

console.log(add(3, 7)); // Output: 7

In the example above, the function add has a conditional statement that checks if the value of a is greater than 2. If the condition is met, the function will return the value of b and stop executing. If the condition is not met, the function will return the sum of a and b.
