Challenge: Get Sum

This is another very basic practice challenge just to get you into the hang of things.

Instructions

Write a function called getSum that takes in two numbers and returns the sum of those two numbers.

Function Signature

/**
 * Returns the sum of two numbers.
 * @param {number} a - The first number.
 * @param {number} b - The second number.
 * @returns {number} - The sum of the two numbers.
 */
function getSum(a: number, b: number): number;

Examples

getSum(1, 2) // 3
getSum(10, 5) // 15
getSum(2, 2) // 4
getSum(10, 5) // 15

Constraints

• The function must return a number

Hints

• You can use the + operator to add two numbers together.

Solutions

function getSum(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

Explanation

This is a pretty simple challenge. We created a function that takes in two values and we added those two values together. We then returned the sum of those two values.

Test Cases

test('Calculating the sum of two numbers', () => {
  // Test case inputs
  const num1 = 5;
  const num2 = 7;

  // Call the function
  const result = getSum(num1, num2);

  // Check if the result is equal to the expected sum
  expect(result).toBe(12);
});
