In JavaScript, a function is a block of code designed to perform a specific task.

You can define a function using the function keyword, and it can take parameters
and return a value. Here's a basic example:

// Function declaration
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

// Calling the function


console.log(greet('Abebe')); // Output: Hello, Abebe!

Key Concepts
Function Declaration: The way to define a function using the function keyword.
Parameters: Values you can pass into the function. In the example, name is a
parameter.
Return Value: The value that the function sends back when called. You can use the
return statement for this.
Arrow Functions
You can also define functions using arrow syntax:

const greet = (name) => `Hello, ${name}!`;

console.log(greet('Amare')); // Output: Hello, Amare!

Function Expressions
Functions can also be defined as expressions and assigned to variables:

const add = function(a, b) {


return a + b;
};

console.log(add(5, 3)); // Output: 8

Summary
Functions are fundamental in JavaScript, allowing you to encapsulate code for reuse
and organization.
