# --description--
|
|
|
|
In JavaScript, we can divide up our code into reusable parts called <dfn>functions</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of a function:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function functionName() {
|
|
console.log("Hello World");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can call or <dfn>invoke</dfn> this function by using its name followed by parentheses, like this: `functionName();` Each time the function is called it will print out the message `Hello World` on the dev console. All of the code between the curly braces will be executed every time the function is called.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
<ol><li>Create a function called <code>reusableFunction</code> which prints <code>"Hi World"</code> to the dev console.</li><li>Call the function.</li></ol>
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`reusableFunction` should be a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof reusableFunction === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `reusableFunction` is called, it should output the string `Hi World` to the console.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(testConsole());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should call `reusableFunction` once it is defined.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const functionStr = reusableFunction && __helpers.removeWhiteSpace(reusableFunction.toString());
|
|
const codeWithoutFunction = __helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code).replace(/reusableFunction\(\)\{/g, '');
|
|
assert(/reusableFunction\(\)/.test(codeWithoutFunction));
|
|
```
|
|

function testConsole() {

var logOutput = "";

var originalConsole = console;

|
var nativeLog = console.log;
|
|
var hiWorldWasLogged = false;
|
|
console.log = function (message) {
|
|
if(message === 'Hi World') {
|
|
console.warn(message)
|
|
hiWorldWasLogged = true;
|
|
}
|
|
if(message && message.trim) logOutput = message.trim();
|
|
if(nativeLog.apply) {
|
|
nativeLog.apply(originalConsole, arguments);
|
|
} else {
|
|
var nativeMsg = Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments).join(' ');
|
|
nativeLog(nativeMsg);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
reusableFunction();
|
|
console.log = nativeLog;
|
|
return hiWorldWasLogged;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
