In Javascript, the function keyword is used to define the functions. We can use a function expression or a function declaration. In JavaScript, a function is a set of statements and conditions. It performs a particular task or calculates a value as we want. But sometimes, as a function, it should take some input and return an output where there are some operations between the input and the output. 


Declaring a Function 

The syntax to declare a function is: 

function nameOfFunction () { 

  // function body   

The naming of a function is just similar to naming a variable. The body of the function is always written within {}. We can also write a descriptive name for your function. For example, if a function is used to add two numbers, you could name the function to add or addNumbers. 

Function Return 

To return the value to a function, the return statement is used. It denotes that the function has ended. After the return, the code is not executed. In Javascript the function always returns an undefined value if nothing is returned. 

Benefits of Using a Function 

  • We can declare it once and use it multiple times. The function makes the code reusable. 
  • Each small task is divided into a function so that the function makes the program easier. 
  • The function increases readability. 


Here is an example of how to create basic Javascript Functions:
