  * Scalars (or Enums) and are defined with a name and a series of functions

- * If a type's serialize function does not return a value (i.e. it returns
- * `undefined`) then an error will be raised and a `null` value will be returned
- * in the response. If the serialize function returns `null`, then no error will
- * be included in the response.

+ * (i.e. it returns `undefined`) then an error will be raised and a `null`

  * Example:
  *
  * ```ts
  * const OddType = new GraphQLScalarType({
  *   name: 'Odd',
  *   serialize(value) {
- *     if (value % 2 === 1) {
