Function Expressions looks more complicated then Function Declaration

Why would we want to use Function Expressions when it looks harder to read and the console.log needs to be at the end when Function Expressions looks more laid back.

The next stage of the course will cover arrow functions, which have an abbreviated form that can make your code more concise when used in function expressions.

And an advantage of function declarations is hoisting, as explained in this lesson.
