Functions
Functions can be declared in 2 different ways.
Function Declaration
- Function declarations are hoisted.
- Hoisted means that it is "pulled up" to the top of the current scope.
- This means you can call it before it's declared.
sayHello('Kevin') // this works!
function sayHello(name) {
console.log('Hello, ' + name)
}
Function Expression
- Function expressions are functions which are assigned to a variable.
- They are NOT hoisted.
- This means you can not call it before it is declared.
sayHello('Kevin') // this will throw an error!
var sayHello = function (name) {
console.log('Hello' + name)
}
