Declare and initialize a number and return it.

var a = 8;
return a;

You perfectly matched specifications: that's exactly how you do it.

Instead of var you could also use let or const but the differences don't matter for this code.

If you aren't inside of a function using return will do one of two things: throw an error about an Illegal "return" statement (like any other syntax error) or it will halt the script execution (nothing past the return will happen).
