CS114 Using Selection/Iteration Constructs and Functions

The document discusses selection/iteration constructs and functions in JavaScript. It defines selection constructs as controlling program flow based on conditions, and iteration constructs as repeating steps. It explains that functions allow grouping of statements to perform a task, are defined with the function keyword followed by name and parameters, and are called elsewhere in a program using the function name followed by arguments in parentheses. It provides examples of a function to calculate the area of a square and calling that function. It then presents 4 exercises for readers to write JavaScript functions to calculate totals/averages, tax amounts, and display capital cities using if/else and switch-case constructs.

3.0 Functions in JavaScript

A collection of program statements maybe grouped into a function to perform a


particular task.

A function begins with the keyword function followed by the name assigned to the
function and a pair of parentheses. Usually some information need to be passed to the
function as parameters.

4.0 Example

function area_of_square(length)
{
var area=length*length;
return area;
}

5.0 Calling functions

A function does not execute automatically.


To execute a function, you must call it from elsewhere in the program.
To call the function, you must create a statement that includes the function name,
followed by a parenthesis containing any variables or values to be assigned to the
function’s arguments.

Using the previous example, the function call would be area_of_square(10) .
