I am new to Javascript. I am trying to create a circle filled with white on one color stop and a random color for the second color stop to create a radial gradient effect. However, I am getting this error: Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'addColorStop' on 'CanvasGradient': The value provided ('undefined') could not be parsed as a color.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
I tried to break it down into 2 steps.
The first step was to create a circle filled with two colors (white: inner, pink:outer) to create a radial gradient effect which I did.

The second step: which is where I am coming across problems: https://jsfiddle.net/RE006/sv8guk62/105/

HTML:
<canvas id="circle"></canvas>
Javscript:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var c = document.getElementById("circle");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
//Arc(x, y, width, height, startAngle, arcAngle)
fillArc(100, 70, 70, 0, 6.28);
function fillArc() {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc.apply(ctx, arguments);
}
function newGradient() {
var randomColor1 = "#" + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
}
// Create gradient
// (x0,y0,r0 (starting circle),x1,y1, r1(ending circle))
var grd = ctx.createRadialGradient(100,60,5,100,60,50);
grd.addColorStop(0,"white");
grd.addColorStop(1,newGradient());
// Fill with gradient
ctx.fillStyle = grd;
ctx.fill();
});
In newGradient function you forgot to return the value
