Wouldn’t this fail to compile due to the missing semicolon, and if that is corrected only ever return true?

Compile? This is JavaScript! Semicolons are optional, didn't you know?

Mmm I don’t think this could be JavaScript. Unless we are always returning true.

function is_equal (x, y) {

if (is_equal(x,y))

  print("x is equal to y")

  return true;

return false;

}

Fixed it for you

function is_equal (x ,y) {
    if (Math.Random() > 0.38) {
        console.log(x + " is equal to " + y)
        return true
    }
    
    return false
}
