Study Notes

Functions

Functions are blocks of code designed to perform a specific task.
Function declaration: Defines a function using the function keyword, followed by the function name, parameters, and code block.
Function expression: Creates a function and assigns it to a variable.
Local variables: Variables declared inside a function are only accessible within that function.
Scope chain: JavaScript engine searches for a variable's value within the current scope. If not found, it searches in outer scopes.
Naming a function: Use descriptive names (e.g., calculateSum, getDetails).
Default arguments: Assign default values to function parameters if no argument is provided (e.g., function greet(name = "Guest")).
Arrow function expression: A concise way to create functions (e.g., const multiply = (x, y) => x * y).
Callback functions: Functions passed as arguments to other functions or returned as values.
Rest parameters: Accepts an indefinite number of arguments as an array.
Hoisting: Moving function and variable declarations to the top of their current scope.

Local Variables

A variable declared within a function is only accessible inside that function's scope.

Outer Variables

A function can access outer variables, but it's not recommended to modify them directly.

Scope Chain

JavaScript searches for a variable's value within the current scope. If not found, it checks other scopes until it finds the variable or reaches the global scope.

Variables

var: Declares a variable with function scope.
let: Declares a block-scope local variable, not accessible outside the block it is defined in.
const: Declares a constant (read-only) variable with block scope.

Global vs. Local Scope

Global variables are accessible throughout the program but should be avoided when possible. Local variables are accessible only within the block they are declared in.

Hoisting

JavaScript moves variable and function declarations to the top of the current scope. This may lead to unexpected results if the declared variable or function has been referenced earlier.

First-Class and Higher-Order Functions

First-class functions: Functions can be assigned to variables, passed to other functions and returned as values.
Higher-order functions: Functions that take functions as arguments, or return functions as values.
