    //  its own internal runtime and context.  Applications do not need to explicitly create
    //  the JavaScript runtime or context.

    //     When Eval processes a script containing only a function declaration,
    //     it successfully performs the action (the function becomes defined).
    //     However, since the script consists of a statement that produces no value,
    //     the script's overall completion value is empty. In JavaScript, the
    //     absence of a value is represented by `undefined`.
    //  
    //     Therefore, the Eval call returns `undefined`.
