Bash Functions

There are two ways of declaring functions in bash, illustrated in the code below:

#! /bin/bash
# func1.sh
# D. Thiebaut
# prints some messages

printSomething() {
    echo "Hello there!"
}

function printSomethingElse {
    echo "Hello again!"
}

printSomething
printSomething
printSomethingElse
