# An array with anonymous functions in JavaScript

I mentioned earlier that functions in JavaScript behave like strings or numbers. In particular, you can make an array consisting of functions. Let's do:

`let arr = [ function() {console.log('1')}, function() {console.log('2')}, function() {console.log('3')}, ];`

Let's, for example, print the contents of the zero element of the array to the console:

`let arr = [ function() {console.log('1')}, function() {console.log('2')}, function() {console.log('3')}, ]; console.log(arr[0]); // we'll see the source code of the first function`

As you can see, in the example above, we get the source code of the function, not the result.

In order for a function to be called, parentheses must be added to it. Since our function is stored in `arr[0]`, the parentheses will need to be written after the square brackets, like this: `arr[0]()`. Let's check:

`let arr = [ function() {console.log('1')}, function() {console.log('2')}, function() {console.log('3')}, ]; arr[0](); // shows '1'`

You can also iterate over our array with functions in a loop and call each of the functions in this loop:

`let arr = [ function() {console.log('1')}, function() {console.log('2')}, function() {console.log('3')}, ]; for (let func of arr) { func(); // invokes our functions in a loop }`

Make the array `arr` with three functions. Let the first return through `return` the number `1`, the second - the number `2`, the third - the number `3`.

Using the array `arr` you've created, print the number `3` to the console by calling the corresponding function.

Using the array `arr` you've created, find the sum of the results of the functions work (without the loop).

Loop through the `arr` array you created and output the results of all functions work to the console.
