The _.noop() function is used to return “undefined” irrespective of the arguments passed to it.

Note: It is very necessary to link the underscore CDN before going and using underscore functions in the browser. When linking the underscore.js CDN The “_” is attached to the browser as global variable.

Syntax:

_.noop();

Parameters: It takes optional parameter of any type.

Return Value: This function returns the value of type undefined.
