The Greeting Protocol

Mission Briefing

The orbital station requires a new automated greeter for incoming starships. You must define a reusable welcoming protocol.

The Concept: Function Declarations

A function is like a specialized machine. You give it some materials (parameters), it does some work, and it gives back a finished product (the return value). Using the function keyword declares a block of reusable code.

The Objective

Your function receives a string name.

1. Use a standard function declaration.
2. Return a greeting string formatted exactly as: "Welcome aboard, [name]!"
3. Example: if name is "Captain", return "Welcome aboard, Captain!"
