Functions & Variable Scope in JavaScript

In week 2 of the JS workshop series, we explore:

- What a function is, how we can define and invoke them
- Arguments and parameters: what's the difference between them?
- Passing in arguments into our functions
- The implicit and explicit return value of a function
- Three different ways we can define a function
- A variable's scope, and how to declare global and local variables

These are fantastic for circular learning and revisions! Just listening to them on my way to work and relearned a lot already! This really helps to refine the mental model of things I wasn't 100% certain on although I though I was!
