Mastering JavaScript Functions: Declaration, Expression, and Arrow Functions

Functions are a fundamental building block of JavaScript, enabling you to write reusable and maintainable code. In this blog, we’ll explore the three main ways to define functions in JavaScript: function declarations, function expressions, and arrow functions. We'll also dive into practical examples for each. 1. Function Declaration A function declaration defines a named function that can be invoked anywhere in its scope.
