function Statement (JScript 5.6)


function functionname([arg1 [, arg2 [,...[, argN]]]]) { ┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬ástatements }

functionname: Required. The name of the function.

arg1...argN: Optional. An optional, comma-separated list of arguments the function understands.

statements: Optional. One or more JScript statements.

Use the function statement to declare a function for later use. The code contained in statements is not executed until the function is called from elsewhere in the script.

The following example illustrates the use of the function statement.

┬á	Copy Code
function myfunction(arg1, arg2){ var r; r = arg1 * arg2; return(r); }

Note
When calling a function, ensure that you always include the parentheses and any required arguments. Calling a function without parentheses causes the text of the function to be returned instead of the results of the function.
