const vs function declaration, showing why you must declare your work first

const-in-order.js

/*
This shows that, because of block-scoping, const function references must be
invoked in-order or else things will fail silently.
const's are added the name space serially (in the order in which they appear)
and much of the body isn't declared when we first try to invoke or functions
*/


const tryDoTheThing = () => {
  console.log(`This is me trying to be awesome ${getAwesome()}`)
}


// "getAwesome is not defined", because it is referenced too early
tryDoTheThing() // comment to see the rest work


const getAwesome = () => (+((Math.random() * 10000).toString().split('.')[0]))


const doTheThing = () => {
  console.log(`This is awesome! ${getAwesome()}`)
}

doTheThing() // prints

functions-first.js

/*
Function declarations are given two passes, where the first lifts them to
the top of the namespace, allowing "out of order" usage
*/

doTheThing();


function doTheThing() {
  console.log(`This is awesome number ${getAwesome()}`)
}

function getAwesome() {
  return (+((Math.random() * 10000).toString().split('.')[0]))
}
