== Return Values ==
'''Definition'''

Functions can return a value after performing their task. The return statement is used to specify the value to be returned.

'''Code Example'''

Here's an example in JavaScript that demonstrates a function with a return value:

<pre>
// Function declaration
function square(number) {
    return number * number;
}

// Function execution and output
let result = square(5);
console.log(result); // Output: 25
</pre>

In this example, the `square` function takes a parameter `number` and returns the square of that number. When the function is executed with the argument `5`, it returns `25`, which is then assigned to the `result` variable and printed to the console.
