Functions A JavaScript function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task.   The main advantages of using a function; -           Re-Use - define the code once and can re-use many times. -           Use the same code many times with different arguments, to produce different results Note: A JavaScript function is executed when “something” invokes or call it. Defining a function To define a function, use the “ function ” keyword, followed by a name , followed by a set of parentheses (). Calling a function To execute the function, you need to call it. To call a function, start with the name of the function, then follow it with the arguments in parenthesis.   Note: Always remember to end the statement with a semicolon after calling the function. Once the function is defined JavaScript allows you to call it as many times as you want to.

Use if to specify a block of code that will be executed if a specified condition is true The statements will be executed only if the specified condition is true . Example: Result: If the condition evaluates to false, the alert statement is skipped and the program continues with the line after the if statement’s closing curly brace. Note: Note the if is in lowercase letters. Uppercase letters (If or IF) will generates an error The if else Statement Use the else statement to specify a block of code that will execute if the condition is false The example below demonstrates the use if an if... ese statement The above example says: -           If num1 is greater than num2, alert “This is my first condition” -       ...
