You need to call the name() function, then your code will work as expected

var b = []; var n = 1;

function name() { b.push(n); console.log(b); };

name();
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

You could also create an IIFE (Immediately-invoked function expression, like so:

(() => {
  var b = [], n = 1;
  b.push(n);
  console.log(b);;
})()
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

In the code you written function name is declared but never used. Try to call the function like this name()

var b = []; var n = 1;
function name() { 
  b.push(n); console.log(b); 
}
name();

There are two ways to do this.

Either make that function IIFE(Immediately Invoked Function Expression) or call that function

IIFEes are generally used for reducing the pollution of global scope.

First way by calling the function explicitly:-

   

var b = [];
var n = 1;

function name() {
  b.push(n);
  console.log(b);
}
name()
console.log(b);

Second way is using IIFE

var b = [];
var n = 1;

(function name() {
  b.push(n);
  console.log(b);
})()
console.log(b);

You should call the function or if you want to execute the function without calling it you should use the IIFE(Immediately Invoked Function Expression) pattern;

var b = [];
var n = 1;

(function name() {
  b.push(n);
  console.log("Inside the function: ",b);
})();

console.log("Outside the function: ",b);
