JavaScript Function: Exercise-28 with Solution

Pass Function as Parameter

Write a JavaScript program to pass a 'JavaScript function' as a parameter.

Sample Solution-1:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named addStudent that takes an id and a refreshCallback function as parameters
function addStudent(id, refreshCallback) {
    // Call the refreshCallback function
    refreshCallback();
}

// Define a function named refreshStudentList that logs 'Hello' to the console
function refreshStudentList() {
