Study Notes
Functions in Programming
- Functions group code for reusability, avoiding repetition.
- Declared using
function
keyword, followed by name, parentheses, and code block.
Parameters and Arguments
- Parameters are variables within a function definition.
- Arguments provide values when a function is called, enabling different input data each time.
- This flexibility improves code efficiency and organization.
