    Here’s a simple JavaScript function that adds two numbers together:

    function addNumbers(a, b) {
      return a + b;
    }
    

    You can use this function by calling it with two numbers as arguments. For example:

    console.log(addNumbers(3, 5)); // Outputs: 8

      Modern JavaScript style recommends using arrow functions for anything that doesn’t need a context. Consider adjusting your code to the arrow function syntax:

      const addNumbers = (a, b) => a + b;
      

      Not only is this syntax shorter, it also gives you the benefits of a constant function. You can use it the same way you did in your existing code:

      console.log(addNumbers(3, 5));  // Outputs: 8
      

      For more JavaScript style suggestions, reply with more code.

          Hey you’re right. But who would notice that… only a BOT! Dissenting opinion: a bot wouldn’t have forgotten the second space on your second-to-last line. oh wait…
