A request question is asking to enumerate all JavaScript functions that return null
or undefined
.
I thought that questions which ask to make a list of things are off-topic here; however, I can't find anything in the rules which tells that it is the case.
There is a popular variant of questions which lead to answers containing only one or few elements from a list, such as What non programming books should a programmer read? Those are off-topic, but this case is different.
Here, the answer won't limit itself to one or few elements from a list. Instead, it can:
Either produce the full list of all functions returning
null
and a list of those which returnundefined
, eventually providing also a link to the documentation which contains those lists in the first place,Or explain how to generate such list by parsing documentation such as MDN,
Or provide a piece of code which creates the list from JavaScript itself.
This question is also different from questions asking for a list of examples. Here, there is the right answer.
In all cases, the question is absolutely not “I'm lazy, do my job for me”-style question. I find it well written and constructive, and among the close reasons, no seem to match.
So:
Is this question off-topic?
If yes, what should be the close reason?
