Function without a parameter and return

The document discusses functions in programming, specifically focusing on functions without parameters and return values. It explains the syntax and implementation of such functions, using examples to illustrate how they can reduce code repetition and improve readability. Additionally, it covers functions that return values, detailing how to store and utilize these returned values in a program.

Function without a parameter and
return.
In the previous lecture, we looked into some of the important terms such as
parameters, arguments, and return statements.

One thing to note is that without parameters there won’t be any existence of
arguments.

The parameters and return statements inside a function are optional sometimes
we wish to get some tasks done inside a function without taking any input
parameters and without returning any output.
Syntax
Implementation.
Let’s look at an example to understand better.

Imagine you want to just print something onto the console and want to display
the same message multiple times. Instead of writing the same statement
multiple times we can write a function and call it as many times as we want.

By doing this the code repetition would be reduced and the code would be more
neat and readable.
Implementation.
Code Walk Through.
In the above example the function "sayMessage" is declared using the keyword
"function". It does not take any parameters and has no return statement.

Inside the function, it uses console.log to display a message on the console.

The function is then called using the function name followed by parentheses,
"sayMessage()".

The function is called four times, so the message "I am happy to learn Full Stack
Web Development From PW Skills" will be displayed on the console four times.
Function returning value.
We know that the return statement in JavaScript is used to specify the value that
a function should return when the function is called upon finishing the execution.

The return statement is followed by the value or expression that you want to
return.

Functions can be declared without any parameters but can have a return
statement. This is done to return some value when the function is called.

When the function is called and the return statement is executed, the function
execution is stopped and the specified value is returned to the calling code.
Syntax
Implementation
Let's look at an example where we want to return a message on calling the
function instead of directly printing the message onto the console.

The message is returned using the return statement and the value is stored in the
variable. The value stored can be used throughout the program.
Implementation
Code Walk Through
The function "passMessage" is declared using the keyword "function" and it does
not take any parameters. Inside the function, it uses the "return" keyword followed
by a string that contains a message.

The function is then called using the function name followed by parentheses,
"passMessage()", and the returned value is stored in the variable "message". The
value stored in the "message" variable can be accessed and used later in the
code, in this example it is logged to the console using console.log(message)
which will display "I am happy to learn Full Stack Web Development from PW
Skills" on the console.
Code Walk Through
Code Walk Through
Here the returned message is stored in the variable ‘message’ and the variable
'newMessage' uses the variable ‘message’ and adds it with the string " Enroll
Today" and the final message is logged to the console using
console.log(newMessage) which will display "I am happy to learn Full Stack Web
Development from PW Skills!! Enroll Today" on the console.
