# A Beginner's Guide to JavaScript Closures

<mark>1.There are mainly four types of function in javascript.</mark>  
eg:  
1.**Normal function**  
function f(c,d){  
const multiply= c\*d;  
return multiply  
}  
console.log(f(4,5)); //20

2.**Anonymous function**  
let f = function(a,b){  
const multiply = a\*b;  
return multiply  
}  
console.log(f(5,4)); //20

3.**ImmediateInvoke**  
let f = function(a,b){  
const multiply = a\*b;  
return multiply  
}(2,6)  
console.log(f(2,4)); //8

4.**ArrowFunction**  
let f=(a,b) =&gt;{  
const multiply = a\*b;  
return multiply;  
}  
console.log(f(4,6)) // 24

**<mark>2</mark>**<mark>. Function Inside Function</mark>  
function fun(){  
function multiply(a,b){ // Or return function(a,b){  
const result= a\*b; // const result= a\*b;  
return result; // return result;  
} }  
return multiply;  
}  
var multiFun = fun();  
console.log(multiFun(2,3)); //6

**<mark>3.Closures</mark>**  
var createCounter = function(n) {  
let count = n;  
return function() {  
return count++;  
};  
};  
const counter = createCounter(10)  
console.log(counter); // it will return the function() and initialize the count variable with n counter() // 10

counter() // 10  
counter() // 11 <mark>→This counter() call the inner function() but inside the block count variable is not present so it will search for outer function and i.e, lexical env and perform the operation in that and this is called closure</mark>  
counter() // 12
