I have also included the video at the end of this post.Defining a functionA function is defined with the keyword function followed by the name of the function and then the optional functional parameters. Defining a function will not do anything unless you invoke the function. Below code shows a basic example of defining a function and then invoking the same function.//Defining the functionfunction sayHello(name) { console.log(“Hello, ” + name + ” to the world of JavaScript”);}//invoking the functionsayHello(“Shane James”);Function returning valueBy default, all functions return value, but in the above example, the return value is undefined.
