[COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR] traceWIHOUTargumentCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#808080]//does not accept arguments[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]trace[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

[COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR] traceWITHargumentCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#808080]//accepts arguments[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]trace[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
