how to make a callback function code example
Example 1: callback function
function greeting(name) {
alert('Hello ' + name);
}
function processUserInput(callback) {
var name = prompt('Please enter your name.');
callback(name);
}
processUserInput(greeting);
Example 2: what are callback functions
// A function which accepts another function as an argument
// (and will automatically invoke that function when it completes - note that there is no explicit call to callbackFunction)
funct printANumber(int number, funct callbackFunction) {
printout("The number you provided is: " + number);
}
// a function which we will use in a driver function as a callback function
funct printFinishMessage() {
printout("I have finished printing numbers.");
}
// Driver method
funct event() {
printANumber(6, printFinishMessage);
}
Example 3: create callback function javascript
function add(a, b, callback) {
if (callback && typeof(callback) === "function") {
callback(a + b);
}
}
add(5, 3, function(answer) {
console.log(answer);
});
