Method return undefined

Question

I have a problem receiving a value from a void method

For example:

test() {
    var x = this.test2("hi there");
    console.log(x);
}

test2(data){
    return data;
}

I want to receive the data from test2 but it keep saying undefined what do I do wrong in here? And how can I make this work?

It is probably so basic but I just want to know why I receive the value undefined

You should also include the word `function` before the function name. `function test() { ` and `function test2() { ` — Igor, Oct 13 '17 at 13:06
Please post a complete example, with the whole object literal/class and the invocation of the `test` method. — Bergi, Oct 13 '17 at 13:26

Add function in front of definition.

function test() {
    var x = this.test2("hi there");
    console.log(x);
}

function test2(data) {
    return data;
}

test();

Try like this :

test(): void {
    var x = this.test2("hi there")
    console.log(x);
}

test2(data): void {
    return data
}
