## Function Construction

In AVAP™, similar to Python, functions are defined using the keyword  `def` , followed by the function name and its parameters in parentheses. The function definition ends with a colon ( `:` ), followed by the block of code that forms the function body, indented with four spaces.

### Defining a function in AVAP™

```javascript
function greet(name){
            return("Hello, " + name + "!")
          }
```

### Calling the function

```javascript
message = greet("World")
            addResult(message)
```

### Output

```javascript
Hello, World!
```
