Key Concepts

Function Header

This part of a function definition specifies the function’s name, its parameters (if any), and sometimes its return type. It acts as the function’s interface, declaring to the compiler or interpreter how the function can be invoked and what kind of information it requires.

Function Body

The function body is the block of code that contains the actual operations, statements, and logic executed when the function is called. It is where the tasks assigned to the function are carried out.

Return Statement

Often considered a distinct component, the return statement is used to send a value back to the caller. It marks the point at which the function concludes its execution and provides the output resulting from its computations.
