Declaring Functions

Functions, like variables, must be declared. Let's declare a function double that accepts an argument called x and returns the double of x :

function double(x) {
    return 2 * x;
}

Note: the function above may be referenced before it has been defined.

Functions are also values in JavaScript; they can be stored in variables (just like numbers, strings, etc ...) and given to other functions as arguments :

var double = function(x) {
    return 2 * x;
};

Note: the function above may not be referenced before it is defined, just like any other variable.

Declare a function named triple that takes an argument and returns its triple.

var triple = function(x) {
    return x * 3;
}

assert(triple);
assert(triple(4) === 12);
assert(triple(10) === 30);
