How do I get the ID of a user that sent the message?

I want to mention the user that sent the command. I know my code style is weird, but I like the JavaScript like functions.

So this is what I've tried, it mentions the user using the arguments sent.
So for example, if you did !mention <user_id> it would mention the user. I want to auto-detect this from the user sent.

function pingFunction(arguments, receivedMessage) {

  if (arguments > 0) {

    receivedMessage.channel.send(<@ + arguments + >);

  } else {

    receivedMessage.channel.send(<@ + arguments + >);

  }

}

Thanks in advance!

The way to get id of the person who sent the message is message.author.id, or in your case, receivedMessage.author.id.

From there, you can replace receivedMessage.channel.send(<@ + arguments + >) receivedMessage.channel.send(<@ + message.author.id + >);
