Functions in TypeScript

Function:
Functions are a fundamental concept in programming that allow you to group
a sequence of statements together to perform a specific task. They are reusable units
of code that can be called or invoked (means to call or execute a function) with a set
of inputs, and they can return a result.
In TypeScript, which is a superset of JavaScript, functions have a similar role.
However, TypeScript introduces static typing, which means you can define the types
of function parameters and return values. This helps catch errors during development
and provides better code completion and documentation.

Parameter type annotation:


You can provide type annotations for function parameters to specify the
expected types of the arguments. This helps catch potential errors during
development and provides better documentation for your code.
Return Type Annotations:
You can provide a return type annotation for a function to specify the type of
value that the function is expected to return. This is useful for catching errors during
development and providing better documentation.

void:
If a function doesn't return any value, you can specify void as the return type.

Purpose of Functions in TypeScript:


1. Modularity and Reusability: Functions allow you to break down your code
into smaller, manageable pieces. These pieces can be reused in different parts of
your program, improving code organization and maintainability.
2. Abstraction: Functions abstract away the implementation details, allowing
you to focus on what the function does rather than how it does it. This makes your
code more readable and easier to understand.
3. Encapsulation: Functions help encapsulate logic, meaning that the internal
workings of a function are hidden from the outside world. This promotes a clear
separation of concerns in your code.
4. Parameterization: Functions can take parameters, allowing you to make your
code more flexible and customizable. Parameters allow you to pass different values
to a function, making it adaptable to various scenarios.
5. Return Values: Functions can return values, allowing them to produce results
that can be used elsewhere in your code. This is crucial for creating dynamic and
responsive programs.
