Challenge Return Early Pattern for Functions

When a return statement is reached, the execution of the current function stops and control returns to the calling location.

Example

function myFun() {
  console.log("Hello");
  return "World";
  console.log("byebye")
}
myFun();

The above outputs "Hello" to the console, returns "World", but "byebye" is never output, because the function exits at the return statement.
