Day 4 Questions

1. In your own words, what is the purpose of a function?

A function is a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value when the function is referenced or called.

1. What is a parameter?

A parameter is a variable used to specify what the function should do or calculate.

1. What is a return value?

The return value is the answer you get from a function.

1. In the space below, create a function named hello that will print "Sam I am".

function hello() {
  console.log("Sam I am");
}
hello();

1. Create a function name hello_someone that takes an argument of name and logs name + " I am".

function hello_someone(name) {
  console.log(name + "I am");
}
hello_someone("Bob");

1. How would you call or execute the function that you created above?

hello_someone("Bob");

1. What questions do you still have about functions in Javascript?

I know these lines are clunky but not 100% sure how to explain what's wrong with them compared to the ones in my functions.js document:

function myName(name) {
  return name;
}

var name = "Hanna Kim"
console.log(myName(name));

// ----------------- //

function knockKnock(orange, banana) {
  console.log(orange + " " + banana);
}

var orange = "Orange you glad";
var banana = "I didn't say banana";
console.log(knockKnock(orange,banana));

Also: Rule #3 from the reading in README.md would not execute.
