11,340 PointsFunction expression and function deceleration?
So what's the difference between function expression and function declaration? I'm honestly kinda lost here but feel like I'm just missing a small piece of information to put it together.
Would someone be willing to show me an example and explain? Thank you!

And just to sum the article up.
A function declaration just starts like: function greet (greetings) {return greetings} and is called with greet() in this case.
A function expression is storing the function inside of a variable and will be called with the variable you stored it in.
