Functions
suggest changeFunctions in JavaScript provide organized, reusable code to perform a set of actions. Functions simplify the coding process, prevent redundant logic, and make code easier to follow. This topic describes the declaration and utilization of functions, arguments, parameters, return statements and scope in JavaScript.
Syntax
- function example(x) { return x }
- var example = function (x) { return x }
- (function() { … })(); // Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE)
- var instance = new Example(x);
- Methods
- fn.apply(valueForThis[, arrayOfArgs])
- fn.bind(valueForThis[, arg1[, arg2, …]])
- fn.call(valueForThis[, arg1[, arg2, …]])
- ES2015+ (ES6+):
- const example = x => { return x }; // Arrow function explicit return
- const example = x => x; // Arrow function implicit return
- const example = (x, y, z) => { … } // Arrow function multiple arguments
- (() => { … })(); // IIFE using an arrow function
Remarks
For information on arrow functions, please view the Arrow Functions documentation.
