Don’t Repeat Yourself (D.R.Y) example – Codeacademy

Here is a correct example:

5
6

var orangeCost = function(price) {
    var price = price * 5;
    console.log(price);
}
;
orangeCost(5);

Instructions

We will make a variable called orangeCost (very important).
The function can be named as you like, I’ve named it “price”.
Then we define price as price * 5.

5 = five oranges.

We type console.log(price) so we can have the result which should be 5 oranges * 5 dollars. It should result as 25.

Then we call the function as this: orangeCost(5).
5 is the price, aka. 5 dollars. It should result 25.

If you get this error: “Oops, try again. It looks like you didn’t define orangeCost.”, it means that you haven’t called the variable for your function as “orangeCost” (the first thing you type).

If you have any questions, leave in the comments.
