Bakery examples:

spec.js

describe('Bakery', function () {
  it('should bake bread', function () {
    expect(bakeBread()).toEqual('Fresh baked bread!');
  })

  it ('should bake customer favorite bread', function () {
    expect(bakeCustomerFavoriteBread('rye')).toEqual('Fresh baked rye bread!');
  })
})

source.js

var bakeBread = function (breadType) {
  if (breadType) {
    return 'Fresh baked ' + breadType + ' bread!'
  } else {
    return 'Fresh baked bread!';
  }
};

var bakeCustomerFavoriteBread = function (favoriteBread) {
  var bakedBread = bakeBread(favoriteBread);

  return bakedBread;
}
