Functons & Stuff

Functions are apparently difficult

Functions like: alert("Beware the boogeyman!") prompt("Enter the name of your fav beer!: )

Arguments are what you put into functions like these. console.log("Hello!" , "How are you?")

console.log is a function, and what you put inside the () parenthesis is considered an argument

Function Declaration

            `function sayHello() {
                console.log("Hello!");
            }` This only declares what the function is and what the arguments are.

Then in order to call said function you can type: sayHello()

Anonymous Functions

            `var sayBye = function() {
                console.log("Bye Bye!");
            }
            sayBye();`

This technically creates a nameless function. And this is apparently a useful method of making functions in certain scenarios.

Ways to combine multiple arguments and variables

            `function sing(song){
                console.log(song)
            }
            sing("Crazy!");
            sing("But that's how it goes!");
            sing("Millions of people!");
            sing("Living as foes!");`

Arguments allow us to not have to repeat ourselves. And makes functions more extensible.

            `function multiply(a, b) {
                console.log(a, b);
                return a * b;
            }
            multiply(5, 10);

Return is the final way to end a function. The program exits after the final sum is printed to the console or whatever.

If statements will not change the outcome of a return function.
