Why appear undefined in the end of for-loop in JavaScript when I try to prints out layers of stars?

I try to write a function called "stars" which prints out layers of stars in the following pattern:

stars(1);
// *
stars(4);
// *
// **
// ***
// ****

this is my code:

function stars(n){
   let result="";
   for(let i=1;i<=n;i++){
    result +="*" ;
    console.log(result);
     }
}
console.log(stars(1));
console.log(stars(4));

but, it turns out to be:

"*"
undefined

"*"
"**"
"***"
"****"
undefined

I try to take apart the loop but still can't figure out why the "undefined" appeared. Thanks!

You should just call stars(x),Instead of using console.Because your function doesn't return anything。

function stars(n){
    let result="";
    for(let i=1;i<=n;i++){
        result +="*" ;
        console.log(result);
    }
}
stars(1);
stars(4);

stars is a function that returns nothing, then console logging it logs undefined.
