What is a Function?

 A function is a subprogram designed to perform a


particular task.
 Functions are executed when they are called. This is
known as invoking a function.
 Values can be passed into functions and used within
the function.
 Functions always return a value. In JavaScript, if
no return value is specified, the function will
return undefined.
 Functions are objects.
Define a Function.
There are a few different ways to define a function in
JavaScript:
A Function Declaration defines a named function. To
create a function declaration you use
the function keyword followed by the name of the
function. When using function declarations, the
function definition is hoisted, thus allowing the
function to be used before it is defined.
function name(parameters){
statements
}

Example
Calculate the product of two numbers, and return the result:

var x = myFunction(4, 3); // Function is called, return value


will end up in x

function myFunction(a, b) {
return a * b; // Function returns the product of a
and b
}

The result in x will be:
