You can't have a linebreak after a return statement, just one of those things. Move your curly bracket onto the same line (ie `return {` ) — Brian Patterson, May 10 '20 at 16:12
@BrianPatterson, you should probably have that as an answer. — Dane Brouwer, May 10 '20 at 16:12

You cannot have a line break for the brackets after the return. Use this instead:

return {
    value,
    value2,
    value3
}

Due to automatic semi-colon insertion, if you put a line-break after a return statement, javascript will put a semi-colon after it and nothing will be returned. You simply need to move the curly bracket up onto the same line to prevent this.

Reference: ASI

function createAddress(streetA,cityA,zipcodeA)
      {
          return {
                streetA,
                cityA,
                zipcodeA  
             };
      };


const VA = createAddress ('405','newyork','123456');    
console.log(VA);
