René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Documentation improvement: clarify function assignment behavior","articleBody":"I was reading the Function expressions section and noticed a wording choice that confused me a little.\n\nThe section mentions that we can \"copy a function to another variable\". Maybe the  intention is to show that functions are values in JavaScript, the wording initially made me think that a new function was being created.\n\n**issue in the section -\u003e url -\u003e https://javascript.info/function-expressions\ntopic is \"Function is a Value\"**\n\nthe example code was  -\u003e\nfunction sayHi() {   // (1) create\n  alert( \"Hello\" );\n}\n\nlet func = sayHi;    // (2) copy\n\nfunc(); // Hello     // (3) run the copy (it works)!\nsayHi(); // Hello    //     this still works too (why wouldn't it)\n\n\n\nMy understanding is that func receives a reference to the same function object rather than creating an independent copy of the function itself.\nThere maybe a chance that i have misunderstood it , the copy could mean the reference is copied  and a little context about reference would help even if it is included in the previous section.\n\nThis is not a major issue, but I thought a small clarification might help readers who are learning about values and references.\n\nThank you so much for the documentation\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sujayhegde23","@type":"Person","name":"sujayhegde23"},"datePublished":"2026-06-20T17:31:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/3973/en.javascript.info/issues/3973"}
