turnary operator ? :
  if the variable is going to changed based on the statement, use a turnary operator ex: var varToChange = some statement ? execute this : otherwise execute this
  you cannot use turnary operators in JSX functions
spread operator (...)
    allows you to use an expression in places where multiple arguments or elements or variables are expected

recursive function
    a function that calls itself.

  EXAMPLE:
  function factorial(n, accumulator) {
    if (n === 0) {
      // this serves as the 'break'
      return accumulator
      // accumulator ends up being the value you want in the end so call it after the break
    }
    return factorial(n — 1, n * accumulator)
    // each parameter will act as kind of a mini function that will occur over and over again until the specified variable reaches the breaking number.
  }
blocks
    allow statements between curly brackets to be executed
    functions are essentially "named blocks"
variables
    can either be:
      complex (like Objects or Arrays) - passed by *reference* if used as arguments in functions. JS points to its location in memory
      primitive (string, integer) - passed by *value* if used as an argument in a function
function declaration
    can be called anywhere in the document
    function isLie(cake){
      return cake === true;
    }
function expression
    is only executed when it is called here
    var isLie = function(cake){
    return cake === true;
    }
