Functions in JavaScript
In JavaScript, a function is a group of statements that does a certain action or computes a value.
Why We need Functions
To avoid repeating the same code all over places, you can use a function to wrap that code and reuse it.
Function Declaration
The term "function" is used to define, declare, or otherwise make a statement about a function.
— The function's name.
— A list of the function's parameters, separated by commas and enclosed in parentheses.
— A group of curly-braced JavaScript statements that specify the real logic, "...
— The value that function returns is specified by a return statement.
Parameters
1. Primitive parameters (such as a number, boolean, float) are passed to functions by value;
Any changes done in the value of such parameter inside the function, remain local to that function. this change never reflected globally or in the calling function
2. Non-primitive parameters , such as Array or a user-defined object are passed to the function as a reference i.e. pointer to that types. Any changes done in value of properties, or element of such types inside the function is visible outside the function.
Function expressions / Anonymous function
Also call Anonymous function, without any Name.
We can provide a name even to Anonymous function or Function expressions, Name makes easier to identify the function in a debuggers stack traces.
