We separate tiny portions of our code into a function so we can call this function multiple times, move it to a separate file, and much more.
In any moderately complex JavaScript program, everything happens inside functions.
Functions are a core, essential part of JavaScript.
What is a function? A function is a block of code, self contained, and we can tell our program to ran that code when we need it.
Here’s a function declaration:
function test() {
// do something
}
The // do something comment is a placeholder for a set of instructions that can be long as much as you want.
When you want to run this function, you “call it” or “invoke it”, like this:
test()

GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. Launching
