You tell them (call them) when you're done with your part (argument). They do their thing (execute), then let you know (return value) when they are finished. </p> <h2> Additional Context </h2> <p>The callback function helps to make code more concise and easier to understand by breaking complex tasks into simpler functions. When you call a function with a callback argument, you tell the main program to execute the callback function after it finishes its task. This way, your code becomes more organized and easier to follow.</p> devchallenge cschallenge computerscience beginners
