In this tutorial, we will look at the method to preserve variables in a JavaScript closure function. What is a closure function? A closure function gives access to the scope of an outer function from an inner function. It also allows private variables. Closure variables are stored in stack and heap. When a function is created, closure is also created. Closure remembers external things used in it. Closures are the primary mechanism for data privacy. One drawback is that the variables used are not garbage collected. Overuse of closure functions will damage the system due to redundant ... Read More

In JavaScript, the functions wrapped with parenthesis are called “Immediately Invoked Function Expressions" or "Self Executing Functions.The purpose of wrapping is to namespace and control the visibility of member functions. It wraps code inside a function scope and decrease clashing with other libraries. This is what we call Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) or Self Executing Anonymous Function.Here’s the syntax −(function() {    // code })();As you can see above, the following pair of parentheses converts the code inside the parentheses into an expression −function(){...}In addition, the next pair, i.e. the second pair of parentheses continues the operation. It calls ... Read More

To set text alignment in HTML, use the style attribute. The style attribute specifies an inline style for an element. The attribute is used with the HTML tag, with the CSS property text-align for the center, left, and right alignment. HTML5 do not support the align attribute of the tag, so the CSS style is used to set text alignment.Just keep in mind, the usage of style attribute overrides any style set globally. It will override any style set in the HTML tag or external style sheet.ExampleYou can try to run the following code to set text ... Read More

JavaScript ClosuresIn JavaScript, all functions work like closures. A closure is a function, which uses the scope in which it was declared when invoked.

This article will teach you how to create a JavaScript recursive function-a function that calls itself-using the recursion method. The process of recursion involves calling itself. Recursive functions are those that call themselves repeatedly. A condition to cease calling itself is always included in recursive functions. Otherwise, it will continue to call itself. Recursive functions are typically used to divide a large issue into smaller ones. Recursive functions are frequently found in data structures like binary trees, graphs, and algorithms like binary search and quick-sort.A recursive function is not immediately clear or simple to comprehend. You will read and comprehend ... Read More

In this tutorial, let us discuss the function scope and context in JavaScript. Functions are the building blocks of Javascript. Therefore, JavaScript is a functional programming language. Scope The 'scope' is the code space where we can define and use a variable in a function. Scopes are of four types. Global scope Global 'scope' is the default scope. A variable with global 'scope' is accessible throughout the program. Browser closing removes a global variable. Window objects can access var variables wherein they can't access the let variables. Functional or local 'scope' A function variable is accessible only with the function. ... Read More

A function is a group of reusable code which can be called anywhere in your program. This eliminates the need of writing the same code repeatedly. It helps programmers in writing modular codes.The most common way to define a function in JavaScript is by using the function keyword, followed by a unique function name, a list of parameters (that might be empty), and a statement block surrounded by curly braces.Here’s an example −     To call a function somewhere later in the script, you would simply need to write the name of that function as shown in the following ...
