For those with experience in other languages, especially Javascript it may be important to note that function declarations are not hoisted and must be declared BEFORE you use them.

||||||
|
print(hello());
|

|
|
||||||
|
function hello() {
|
||||||
|
return "world";
|

|
}
|

|
|

Will cause an error saying `variable hello not defined` whereas::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
function hello() {
|
||||||
|
return "world";
|
||||||
|
}
|

Will print out
