2 ways of declaring functions in js:
var functionOne = function() { // code }; function functionTwo() { // code }
The difference is that functionOne is defined at run-time, whereas functionTwo is defined at parse-time for a script block. For example:
<script> // Error functionOne(); var functionOne = function() { } </script> <script> // No error functionTwo(); function functionTwo() { } </script>
In JavaScript, declarations are hoisted. Meaning that var a = 1; var b = 2; becomes var a; var b; a = 1; b = 2.
