More about JavaScript Functions!

We all know functions are group of statements that perform a specific task. Functions in JavaScript exhibit various forms .We have a variety of types in functions in JavaScript , like function expression, Anonymous functions, Arrow functions and IIFE.
Lets get started with some basic function pattern which we normally see in other programming languages as well i.e. normal/regular function definition.
Syntax:

function function_name(){
//statements
}

This was pretty easy! Now lets have a look at some other types.
Function Expressions
In JavaScript we can create functions and can assign them to variables as well!
Yes , you read it right! We can assign functions to variables.
Syntax:

var variable_name =function function_name(){
//statements
}

We cannot call sayhi() directly, it results into reference error.

Also remember , function expressions are never hoisted!
So we cannot do something like this.

This results into TypeError.
Anonymous Functions
Anonymous functions are functions with no specific name.

• They can be stored in a variable.
• Can be returned in a function .
• Can be passed in a function.

function(){
 //body of function
};

Store an anonymous function in a variable.

var variable_name = function(){
    //body of function;
}

Passing anonymous functions as an argument in JavaScript.

Now if we call myfunc inside show we get,

Returning anonymous function

Arrow Functions!
Arrow functions were introduced from ES6.
