What Are Functions in JavaScript?

Functions are specific objects that receive values, perform operations, and then return values. One of the most significant advantages of a function is its ability to be used multiple times, promoting code reusability.

Let's explore a simple function example:


              
123456789101112

            
function meeting(name) {
  console.log("------ Meeting with " + name + " ------");
  console.log("Hello, " + name + "!");
  console.log("I'm glad to see you!");
  console.log("But I need to go.");
  console.log("Goodbye, " + name + "!");
  console.log("See you again soon!");
}

meeting("Mary");
meeting("Kate");
meeting("Sean");
copy

In this example, the meeting function is defined and takes a name parameter. Inside the function is a code block containing various console.log statements. The function is called three times with different names as arguments.

The power of functions lies in their reusability. This function, written in just 8 lines of code, contains a code block of 6 lines. However, it can be called multiple times, eliminating the need to copy and paste those 6 lines of code.

Note

The example here aims to provide a basic understanding of functions. No detailed analysis is needed for now. In practice, functions are versatile and help developers organize and reuse code effectively.
