That was 5 years ago. Nowadays they would both be bots.

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.

I have yet to profit from knowing Markdown formatting.

That's right! Now I can put "Markdown" on my resume!

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....

As an actual real human being with emotions, I disagree. Downvoted and reported /s

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
