Creating Functions in JavaScript and Passing Arrays

In JavaScript, a function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task. To create a


function, use the 'function' keyword followed by a name, parentheses for parameters, and
curly braces for the code block. You can pass an array to a function as a parameter by simply
including the array as an argument when calling the function.

Example of Creating a Function


Here’s an example of a function that takes an array as an argument and calculates the sum
of its elements:

```javascript

function sumArray(arr) {
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
sum += arr[i];
}
return sum;
}

```

How to Pass an Array to a Function


To use this function, you would create an array and pass it as an argument:

```javascript

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];


const result = sumArray(numbers);
console.log(result); // Output: 15

```
