Functions are very powerful tools for JavaScript programmers. As we saw, the two main reasons to use a function are for reuse and for making code easier to read. We created a logMessage function so that we could use its functionality over and over again. We created the makeLog function to move a whole bunch of messy code out of the way of more important code. We even took a peek at some of the crazy things that we can do with functions, like recursion.
And we’re still just scratching the surface!
