The return type ``++any++`` should be avoided because it prevents the type safety checks normally done by the compiler. When a function returns a primitive type (i.e. number, string or boolean) it is safe to replace ``++any++`` with ``++number++``, ``++string++`` or ``++boolean++`` type respectively, or remove the return type completely and let compiler infer it.

[source,javascript]
----
function foo() : any { // Noncompliant
  return 1;
}
----


== Compliant Solution

[source,javascript]
----
function foo() {
  return 1;
}
// or
function foo(): number {
  return 1;
}
----
