Understanding JavaScript Callback Functions

A callback function in JavaScript is a function that is passed as an argument to another function. In the provided example, 'profession' is a callback function used within 'tellYourIntro' to display a greeting and profession. It's important to note that when passing a callback, it should not be invoked with parentheses, as that would execute it immediately rather than passing it as a reference.

What is a callback function?

sol- A callback function in JavaScript is a function passed as an argument to


another function. For ex-

// tellYourIntro() is the outer function


const tellYourIntro = (name, funct) => {
[Link](`Hello, I am ${name}`);
funct(); // Since we want to call the callback() function inside the greet
function below [Link](`Hi I'm ${name}`) therefore we have written it over here
};

// profession() is the callback function


const profession = () => {
[Link]("I am a software developer");
};

tellYourIntro("Asif", profession); // O/p is Hello, I am Asif


I am a software developer

The

Note - Whenever a callback function is passed as an argument inside another


function then there is no parenthesis otherwise in every situation the function is
always called with parenthesis.
