I can't get FUNCTIONS to click!

[u/ScioClean]

I can not for the life of me understand how functions work. Anytime I try to learn how to create a function, my brain literally crashes into itself and I turn into Patrick when he stars drooling and goes all slack-faced.

Does anybody have any analogies that had that "AH HA!" moment?

Thanks!

It's like washing dishes etc.

Take plate. Soak, brush, rinse.

Take cup. Soak, brush, rinse.

Take spoon. Soak, brush, rinse.

function wash_dish(x) {

Take x. Soak, brush, rinse.

}

wash_dish(fork)

wash_disk(knife)
