A callback function, also known as a higher-order function, is a function that is passed to another function

Here is Exemple of Callback functions in basic JavaScript :

''' var friends = ["Mike", "Stacy", "Andy", "Rick"]; ​ friends.forEach(function (eachName, index){ console.log(index + 1 + ". " + eachName); // 1. Mike, 2. Stacy, 3. Andy, 4. Rick​ }); '''
