Conditional Statements

Conditional Statements test a claim and then either run a block of code or pass to the next step. Ultimately, these statements provide dynamic programmed responses where data can be set programmatically or change, like in the case of user input, and the JavaScript code can respond in different programmed ways.

Functions are pieces of code that perform actions. There are both functions built into JavaScript and an almost limitless number of functions a developer can create. The Anatomy of a Function Function can be created using the function keyword, usually followed by a unique name, though a name is not required, followed by () and then { } Inside of the (), you can set perimeters. These perimeters ore optional, but, if used, allow for data to be transferred in to the function to be used. Functions usually end with the keyword return. This keyword signals the JavaScript engine to stop processing the function and will take  MORE q
