no-use-of-empty-return-value ​
If a function does not return anything, it makes no sense to use its output. Specifically, passing it to another function, or assigning its "result" to a variable is probably a bug because such functions return undefined
, which is probably not what was intended.
Noncompliant Code Example ​
javascript
function foo() {
console.log('Hello, World!');
}
a = foo();
Compliant Solution ​
javascript
function foo() {
console.log('Hello, World!');
}
foo();
