This check looks for parameters in functions that are not used in the function body and are not followed by other parameters which are used inside the function.

This check looks for parameters in functions that are not used in the function body and are not followed by other parameters which are used inside the function.

This check looks for functions where a return statement is found in some execution paths, but not in all.

Consider this little piece of code

function isBig(a) {
    if (a > 5000) {
        return "yes";
    }
}

console.log(isBig(5001)); //returns yes
console.log(isBig(42)); //returns undefined

The function isBig will only return a specific value when its parameter is bigger than 5000. In any other case, it will implicitly return undefined.

This behaviour may not be what you had intended. In any case, you can add a return undefined to the other execution path to make the return value explicit.
