Did I miss the use of curly braces within functions? Are they required for something?

231,268 PointsThe main use of curly braces when a function is being defined is to enclose the code of the function itself. This is known as the "code body". Example:
function sample() {
// code body goes here
}
If you meant a different usage, please show a code sample.
