JavaScript Functions - How Functions Work in JavaScript



JavaScript Functions

JavaScript functions are used to perform some operations. We can call JavaScript function many times to reuse the code.

1. Code reusability :

  • We can able to call the function several times so it save coding.

2. Less coding :

  • It makes our program more simple and easy. We don’t need to write many lines of code each time to perform the same task.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

    <script>  
        function msg(){  
        alert("hello! this is message");  
        }  
        </script>  
        <input type="button" onclick="msg()" value="call function"/> 

</body>
</html>

Output
