Today, I explored one of the most essential concepts in programming: Functions. Functions are a game-changer because they make code reusable, reducing the need for repetition. Let me break down what I learned: What is a Function? A function is a block of reusable code designed to perform a specific task. It has two main aspects: Declaration: This is where you create or define the function. function greet(name) { return `Hello, ${name}`; } Invocation: This is where you call the function to execute it. console.log(greet('Ayoola')); // Output: Hello, Ayoola Parameters vs. Arguments Parameters : Variables used when defining a function.…

liner notes: Professional : Not a bad day. Got a project I've been working on deployed and made some changes based on feedback. Had a couple of meetings. Helped with some community questions. Personal : I stayed up pretty late last night watching the elections. Disappointed but not surprised. Well, we'll see what happens. What really bothered me was the local amendments that didn't pass. It's not like people were outnumbered. The majority of people voted for them to pass, but the bar of 60% was set so high, that it came close, but just missed. It's almost like it…

How to make logs useful? As developers, logs are the expressive part of our application. They allow us to capture the activity of an application. In computer programming, a developer can decide whether to display logs in his application, which can be a traceability aid in the event of errors. The problem now is to know what to display and where, hence the purpose of this article. Logs in a single function By definition, a function receives one or more parameters as input, then performs operations and returns a result. In a simple function, the useful information's to be displayed…

Professional : Had quite a bit of meetings today. Unusual for a Thursday. Had a couple of team meetings. Got to do a demo for a sample application I made to demonstrate a new functionality. I quickly put together some slides and did the presentation. I think it went pretty well. The demo worked with no issues. That was super fortunate. I was pretty confident that it would work because I've been testing it a lot, but you never know. I wrote up the documentation and uploaded the code to the code repository. Responded to some community questions. Spent the…

According to a Stack Overflow survey, JavaScript was the most popular language among developers in 2023. JavaScript was initially developed for Netscape Navigator - a web browser that was developed in the middle of 1990s - and now is being used in almost every domain of programming - Web Development, Mobile app development, Game development, Machine Learning and many others. But how did a language which was developed in 10 days by Brendan Eich become so popular? In this article, we will go through the life of JavaScript from ES6, which was released in 2015 and was the second major…
