object function cannot work

[stevengoh]

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
    var mul = function Multiply (x, y) {
    return (x * y);
}
mul(3,4);
</script>

I was wondering why it can't work?

The function returns the product of the two arguments-
if you want to do something with that value, you have to specify what.

<script>
    var mul = function Multiply (x, y) {
    return (x * y);
}
alert(mul(3,4));
//or
alert(mul)
</script>
