hey in functions is the parentheses at the end for putting in values so if

<button onclick="function(5)>

function function(x){
}

would the x value in the function be 5?

That would not work as function is a token keyword in js so you can not name your function function as it would be taking the name of something in js. The correct form would be:

function myFunction(x){
//You Need to put something here, I.e
return x+8;
}
Now it would return x+ 8 , you can make return return nearly anytung.

You also wouldnt see anything on screen, as it would execute the function in the background. It would return something when not expecting a return because executed from a button.

oh i was just using function for a placeholder name
though that does answer my question, thanks!

I am currentlly learning deno, typescript, flutter, dart, and c++, oh and french. These are the current languages I am learning.

I'm currently learning react.js

I try to stay away from dynamic as they are difficult to host. I prefer flutter, I recently discovered it.

For a backend server I do deno type script with express.
