JavaScript Functions

                         

In this article you will learn about the JavaScript functions.

What is JavaScript Function?
Java script Function is nothing but it is a reusable code-block that is execute when the function is called. Function is defined in the head section of the code. The syntax of JavaScript function is as follows:

function fname(prameter1,parameter2, ...)
{
   JavaScript code 1
    JavaScript code 2
   ....
}

While defining JavaScript function its important to remember that the keyword function should be in lowercase other wise JavaScript won't understand it as function. If you write function in uppercase the code will generate error. In the JavaScript semicolon is optional but its better to put semi-colon as part of best practices. All the java script code are written inside the curly  braces.

Example:
 <html>
    <head>
      <script language="javascript">
         function showmessage(){
          alert("How are you");
         }
       </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form>
      <input type="button" value="Click Here!" 
      onclick="showmessage()" >
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Function starts with the function keyword and code of the function is enclosed in {..} brackets.  Functions are written inside the head section of the html document, because function does not execute when the page loads. The alert function displays the message "How are you", when you clicked on the button ("Click Here")..

What is the use of JavaScript Functions:
The java Script Function is very useful in writing the JavaScript code. It is used to group many JavaScript codes under one name. For example you can write a function to validate email address.

Built-in functions
