Languages Focus: Custom Routines

For non-OOP languages, a custom routine is a function, procedure, or subroutine and for pure OOP languages, a custom routine is a class method. Hybrid languages (both non-OOP and OOP) combine both.

JavaScript Custom Routines

JavaScript uses functions and loosely typed parameters. Function definitions must come before their usage so the usual preference when adding JavaScript to HTML pages is to include them between the head tags.

Syntax Example:
function SayHello(pName) {
 document.write("Hello " + pName + "<br>");
}
 
function add(p1, p2) {
 var result;
 
 result = p1 + p2;
 return result;
}

Complete Example

Here is a complete example of using JavaScript functions in an HTML page. Many developers prefer to put JavaScript functions in the page header as demonstrated here.

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Coding</title>
 
<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!--
function SayHello(pName) {
 document.write("Hello " + pName + "<br>");
}
 
function add(p1, p2) {
 var result;
 
 result = p1 + p2;
 return result;
}
-->
</script>
 
</head>
 
<body>
 
<h1>JavaScript Custom Routines</h1>
<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!--
SayHello("Mike");
document.write("2+2=" + add(2,2));
-->
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
