The big idea
A function in code is a little machine you can use again and again. An AI helper can explain it like a recipe card.
Some examples
- AI says: 'A function is like a peanut butter sandwich recipe.'
- Each time you call the function, you get a sandwich!
- It can show you a 'sayHi()' function that says hi.
- It shows how 'addNumbers(3, 4)' gives you 7.
Try it!
Ask AI to make a tiny function called 'cheer()' that prints 'Yay!' three times.
