Solving the ‘Return the Sum of Two Numbers’ Problem in JavaScript
Introduction
In this tutorial we will create a method that takes two integers as arguments and returns their sum. For example, if we pass the arguments 3 and 2 to the method, it should return 5. Similarly, passing -3 and -6 should return -9, while passing 7 and 3 should return 10.
Step 1: Understand the Problem
To solve any programming problem, it is essential to fully understand the requirements. In this case, we need to create a method that takes two integers and returns their sum. Remember, an integer is a whole number without any decimal places.
Step 2: Define the Function
Let’s start by defining our JavaScript function. We’ll name it sumOfTwoNumbers to reflect the problem's description. Our function will take two parameters: num1 and num2, representing the two integers we need to sum. Here's the initial function structure:
function sumOfTwoNumbers(num1, num2) {
// Implementation goes here
}
