... I want to get into programming, specifically, building websites for now.

I already got HTML and CSS for the most part, but now I want to get into Javascript.

I'very been practicing writing variables and functions, if statements today etc... but just very basic ones. I just got into Return Statements and am having trouble understanding what it is.

I'm waiting the EJ Media and New Boston tutorials on them, but all they say is we're returning a value. What am I returning a value to? When would I need to do something like this?

What the heck is a Return Statement?
