There are several possible reasons why your function may not be returning a value when obtaining the outcome of a closure:
- The closure may not be executing due to an incorrect or invalid argument being passed to the function.
- There may be an error or exception within the closure that is preventing it from executing to completion.
- The return statement within the closure may be missing or improperly structured, causing the closure to exit before a value is returned.
- The variable or object that the closure is modifying may not be properly defined or initialized, causing the closure to fail to produce a value.
To determine the exact cause of the issue, you may need to step through your code in a debugger or add console.log statements to identify where the code is failing.
