JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION:

Learning JavaScript step-by-step! Today, I made notes on one of the most fundamental concepts in JS: Functions, Parameters, and Arguments. Here is a quick breakdown:

​1. What is a Function?

​A function is a reusable block of code designed to perform a specific task.

Example:

function biriyani() {

console.log("Biriyani Ready");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}

biriyani(); // Output: Biriyani Ready

biriyani(); // Output: Biriyani Ready

2.Parameters vs. Arguments

​Parameter: A placeholder variable declared inside the function definition.

​Argument: The actual value you pass into the function when calling it.

Example:

// 'i' and 'j' are Parameters (placeholders)

function add(i, j) {

let result = i + j;

console.log(result);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}

// 5 and 10 are Arguments (actual values)

add(5, 10); // Output: 15
