How to use a function to greet a person in JavaScript

by

Hello so my question is about this assignment and how I am stuck on how to proceed with getting the persons name to be added to the greeting. The assignment directions are as follows:
Create a function called greet that has one parameter called name and does not return a value. When greet is called, it should say hello to the value passed in as the argument to name. For instance, greet(“Bob”); should print out Hello, Bob!

Create a function to greet a person and return their name.

var greet_name = function(person_name, greet) {
  var text = greet + ',' + name;
  var person_name = text
  text = "Enter your name here";
  person_name = prompt(text); stop 

  console.log(text);
  var greet = greet_name(person_name, greet);
};
greet_name()

Some advice on what the next steps would be great or just suggestions on places to edit the code.

Thanks

  2. Okay, so we only need one parameter for the function:
    function greet(name){
    And We know that we don’t need to have the function return anything, but it needs to print out the name: console.log("Hello, " + name); Additionally, we want a prompt so the user can enter a name of their choice. We can actually do this during the function call: greet(prompt("Enter Name:")) Thus, we have a fully functional greeter. Final product:
    function greet(name){
    console.log("Hello, "+ name);
    }
    greet(prompt("Enter Name:"));

  3. Try This

    var greet_name = function(person_name, greet) {
    console.log(greet + " " + person_name);
};
greet_name(prompt("Enter Your Name : ","Enter Name"),"Welcome");

  4. This Might be an easier and cleaner way to do it.

    var greeting = (userName)=>{
    var userName = prompt("Enter Name");
    alert("Hello " + userName + "!" );
}
greeting();
