How do you call a function
To call a function in JavaScript, you need to write the name of the function followed by parentheses ().
For example, let's say we have a function named greeting() that logs a greeting message to the console. To call this function, we would write greeting();
Here is an example function:
javascript Copy code
function greeting() {
console.log("Hello, welcome to SheCodes!");
}
greeting(); // This will call the greeting function and log the message to the console
how do i know when to apply comma, double quotes etc when writing a code in javascript
When writing in JavaScript, there are a few key instances when using commas, quotes, parentheses, and brackets is necessary:
var items = ["apple", "banana", "pear"]
var greeting = "Hello World!"
function multiply(x, y) { return x * y; }
var hero = { name: "Dave", power: "Strength" };
For more information, including syntax formatting and other useful rules, please see the MDN JavaScript Guide.
In React in what cases parentheses should be put after 'return' and when they shouldn't be?
In React, parentheses should be placed after 'return' when multiple elements (such as components, JSX expressions) need to be returned within a single element. If there is only a single element being returned, parentheses are not required. For example:
javascript Copy code
// Single element, no parentheses
function AnExample() {
return <div>Hello World!</div>
}
// Multiple elements, use parentheses
function AnotherExample() {
return (
<React.Fragment>
<div>Welcome!</div>
<div>Say Hi!</div>
</React.Fragment>
)
}
For more information on returning elements in React, see the article Understanding React.js elements return statement from ITNEXT.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
