title: JavaScript declaration notation
---
There is a shorter way to declare functions:
``` javascript
function square(x) {
return x * x
}
console.log(square(5))
```
Function declarations are not part of the regular top-to-bottom flow on
control. They are conceptually moved to the top of their scope and can
be used by all the code in that scope.
``` javascript
console.log("The future says:", future())
function future() {
return "Where are my flying cars?"
}
```
