Page 11 Second paragraph, examples |
The paragraph mentions a "function statement (Example 2-2)" and a "function expression (Example 2-3)", but the examples themselves are named "Example 2-2 Function declaration" and "Example 2-3 Function statement". Is example 2-2 a function statement or is 2-3? Based on the text, I suspect the example headings are simply mislabeled. |
