Is there any way to not return something using CoffeeScript?

Question

It seems like CoffeeScript automatically returns the last item in a scope. Can I avoid this functionality?

Answer 1

Yes , with a return as the last line of a function.

For example,

answer = () ->
  42

extrovert = (question) -> 
  answer()

introvert = (question) ->
  x = answer()
  # contemplate about the answer x
  return
