Mutations algorithm - one more thing

JavaScript
#1

Okay, why is mutation(["hello", "hey"]) not returning false?

 let [a, b] = arr
  console.log(b)

  for(let i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {    
    if(a.toLowerCase().includes(b[i].toLowerCase())) {
      return true
    } else {
      return false
    }
    
  }
  //return ;
}

A return statement immediately stops your function.

I tried this and nothing:

console.log(b)
  let x
  for(let i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {    
    if(a.toLowerCase().includes(b[i].toLowerCase())) {
      x = true
    } else {
      x = false
    }
  return x;    
  }
  
}

There’s clearly a gap in my knowledge regarding conditionals and return. This always stumps me.

So, if a return statement stops my functions… then it stopped at if and it didn’t read else, is that it?

No issues, just getting tired.
