Function: // Function Declaration / Function Statement

1) Functions allow for organizing code into reusable sections. A function is defined with the function keyword followed by a name and optional parameters in parentheses. Code within the function is contained in curly braces. 2) Functions can optionally return a value using the return keyword. Once a function returns a value, any remaining code in the function will not execute. 3) To invoke or call a function, the function name is written followed by parentheses. Any parameters passed during invocation can be accessed within the function code.
