Return multiple elements inside React.render()

Question

I am new in react and I encountered with this problem:

render: function(){
    return (
        
Account
        

        

Answer 1

React.render is a JavaScript function returning the DOM elements. Since in JavaScript, functions cannot return multiple expressions, so we can't return multiple elements in React. The function returns the first expression immediately after the "return" keyword, and then the function dies. That's why we are able to do this:

if(1) { return 1 } return 2
