			STATEMENT: function function name([param] [, param] [..., param]) {statements} The function statement declares a function with its specified parameters, which can include numbers, strings and objects. To return a value, a function must have a return statement specifying the value to return. The word, function, is a reserved word. You cannot name a function, "function". Rather, use a word, or blend of words, that describe the purpose that the function performs. The following code declares a function that calculates the average of three numbers and returns the result: Code: function calcaverage(a, b, c) { return (a+b+c)/3; } document.write(calcaverage(2, 4, 6));
