Define Function — free browser-based JavaScript practice

■ What this exercise teaches greetという関数を定義し、「こんにちは」を返してください。

Why it matters in real projects

functionで関数を定義、returnで値を返します。 Similar patterns appear daily in code review and production UI work.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Read the guide and understand the goal of "Define Function" 2. Review the JavaScript editor pane and start from the starter code 3. Open hints if stuck; compare your diff with the sample solution 4. Click Run and inspect preview/console output 5. Auto-check looks for output containing: こんにちは, こんにちわ. 6. After success, continue with adjacent exercises in the same category

Core concept explained

functionで関数を定義、returnで値を返します。

Technical focus

Key JavaScript APIs: console.log.

Hint before you peek at the solution

function greet() { return 'こんにちは'; }

Sample solution walkthrough

JavaScript APIs used: console.log. Verify spelling and async/await usage. Explanation: functionで関数を定義、returnで値を返します。 Hint recap: function greet() { return 'こんにちは'; }

Solution code

📝 Sample code
function greet() {
  return 'こんにちは';
}
console.log(greet());

Common mistakes for this exact task

・Skipping the hint: function greet() { return 'こんにちは'; }

Troubleshooting

Q: Preview does not change after Run A: Ensure you edited the JavaScript pane and clicked Run. Q: Looks correct but check fails A: Auto-check looks for output containing: こんにちは, こんにちわ. Look for typos, full-width spaces, or unclosed tags. Q: Console shows errors A: Open DevTools Console and fix bracket/quote mismatches at the reported line. Q: Hard to type on mobile A: Use landscape mode or continue on desktop—the same URL keeps progress in localStorage.

Interview / portfolio tips

・Explain the techniques in "Define Function" in your own words within 30 seconds ・Practice walking through each line of the sample solution on a whiteboard ・Connect this task to a real component you would ship ・Mention responsive or accessibility trade-offs ・Describe when you use: console.log
