Sometimes (narrator voice: often), when I learn new things about JavaScript, I just want to cry.

Consider:

function f1() {
   return 3+4
}

If you call f1(), it will return 7.

Now consider:

function f2() {
   return
   3+4
}

If you call f2(), it will return [checks notes] nothing.

The expression 3+4 is unreachable code.

Luckily, this works:

function f2() {
   return (
   3+4)
}

I'll try to remember that, but will almost certainly fail.
