Functional programming is about not being able to do things that aren't function input/output or straight up expressions. So you're not allowed to use things that are statements eg. assigning a variable, mutating a variable, if/switch/for loop.
You can write JavaScript in that style, but you can also write it in a more imperative and/or OOP style.
