JScript  

function Statement

Declares a new function.

function functionname([arg1 [, arg2 [,...[, argN]]]])
{
   statements
} 

Arguments

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.

Remarks

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.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the function statement.

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.
