Question

The function stops its execution when it encounters?

(a) continue statement

(b) break statement

(c) goto statement

(d) return statement

I had been asked this question in a job interview.

This is a very interesting question from Defining and Invoking Functions topic in chapter Lexical Structures of JavaScript

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) return statement

Easiest explanation: Continue statement and break statement are used in the loops for skipping the iteration or going out of the loop. Whenever a return statement is encountered the function execution is stopped.
