(5B) What is a function in JavaScript, and what do all functions have??

Lamine Karamoko - March 2, 2023 Leave a Comment

When it comes to JavaScript this is a coding language that is made for users to interact with websites or games. JavaScript has these things called functions where it enables interactions with the software. In these functions, you have variables that are the key to a function. All functions in JavaScript have things like names, bodies, and symbols. Functions in JavaScript can be defined in multiple ways, including using function declarations, function expressions, and arrow functions. “They can also be nested, meaning that one function can call another function to perform a specific task”. All functions in JavaScript have a name, parameters, a body, and an optional return statement. Understanding functions is essential for understanding difficult applications and building reusable code. For now this is just the surface of knowledge for java script, as there are plenty of more things to learn about putting together a function, or just creating an interface using this tool / language.
