javascript// JavaScript function to calculate the area of a rectangle
function calculateRectangleArea(length, width) {
return length * width;
}
// Example usage of the function
const length = 5; // Length of the rectangle
const width = 3; // Width of the rectangle
const area = calculateRectangleArea(length, width); // Calling the function with provided length and width
console.log("The area of the rectangle with length " + length + " and width " + width + " is: " + area); Output the calculated area
Explanation:
- This code defines a JavaScript function
calculateRectangleArea
that computes the area of a rectangle based on its length and width. - Inside the function, it multiplies the
length
andwidth
parameters to get the area, and then returns the result. - In the example usage section, we define specific values for the
length
andwidth
variables (5 and 3 respectively). - We then call the
calculateRectangleArea
function with these values to compute the area of the rectangle. - Finally, we log the result to the console, providing a clear message indicating what values were used for the length and width, along with the calculated area.
