Functions act as placeholders for the data they output. Basically, you can assign the output of a function to a variable, just like any normal data.FreeCodeCamp offers a curriculum and in this video we cover their lesson called Assignment with a Returned Value.

I met with managers in the following cities: San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Use a colon after a complete statement that introduces a list of items.
