get return value of last expression

On the Chrome console, you can get the return value of the last expression

> 1+1; 2+1;
< 3

How to implement this function in javascript?

$expressions = '1+1; 2+1;' // from user input
new Function($expressions).call() // return 3, not 2

Can only be inserted in the last expression return statement?

Use eval(expression) instead like this:

console.log(eval("1+1; 1+2"));

You could use eval, but keep in mind that it is not a good practice to use it.

var value = eval("1+1; 2+1;");

console.log(value);
