Hi guys! Why do I need to put "name" in body?

Hi!
Why do I need "name " again in BODY?

var nameString = function (name) {
	return "Hi, I am" +" "+name;


};
nameString("Alex")
console.log();
#2

HI your function has as argument name so when you you put

return "Hi, I am" +" "+name;

and you call you function with your name

nameString("Alex")

it will output

"Hi, I am Alex"

your name inside the call function will take the place of the argument name
HOpe that make you understand it.

OK, now I got that name is parameter and then when I call a fucntion
…
nameString (“Alex”)
…
it puts “Alex” instead of name in body,right? And why I put blank quotes there? is it cause string should be in quotes? and parameter not?

#4

The blank quote is for putting the space between …am and Alex

the don’t need of it " " around

#5

OK! now I got the blan quotes.
Thanks a lot!
