function declarations get converted to variable assignment without infinite loop safety

[EricBalingit]

variable declaration expressions such as:

var test1 = function ( a, b ) {
    return a + b;
};

result in the expected output with KAInfiniteLoopProtect

while function declarations such as

function test2 ( a, b ) {
    return a + b;
}

do not

Yeah, I'm not surprised that there are issues like that. I added the function syntax for the AP CSP demos, but I don't use them anywhere in Intro to JS since I think there'd also be issues with the coding challenge auto-grader. It would need to be done in a more sophisticated manner than my quick approach. I'll leave this issue open. But generally, I would suggest folks sticks with the var syntax for the best chance of things working.

I thought it was a feature that I take advantage of all the time.
