/*
function: A function is created with an expression that starts with the keyword function. Functions have a set of parameters (in this case, only x) and a body, which contains the statements that are to be executed when the function is called. The function body of a function created this way must always be wrapped in braces, even when it consists of only a single statement.

return statement:  A return statement determines the value the function returns (A return keyword without an expression after it will cause the function to return undefined)

Parameters to a function: behave like regular bindings, but their initial values are given by the caller of the function, not the code in the function itself

scope: Each binding has a scope, which is the part of the program in which the binding is visible

/*
expression: A fragment of code that produces a value.

side effects: changes the internal state of the "machine" in a way that will affect the statements that come after it

binding, or variable: to catch and hold values. After a binding has been defined, its name can be used as an expression. The value of such an expression is the value the binding currently holds.

keywords/reserved words: words with a special meaning, such as let, are keywords, and they may not be used as binding names. There are also a number of words that are “reserved for use” in future versions of JavaScript, which also can’t be used as binding names.
