// We'll query the Rick and Morty API using a GET request:
const URL = "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/character/"
const fetchCharacter = (id) => {
  const httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest()
  httpRequest.open("GET", `${URL}${id}`)
  httpRequest.send()
  return httpRequest.responseText
}
const fetchJerry = () => fetchCharacter(5) // Jerry has id 5.
const result = fetchJerry() // The result is always undefined.

console.log(`${name} is ${status}`) // undefined is undefined
