void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The Javascript function called in this example is shown at the bottom of this page.
    //  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    //  In this example, we'll load the Javascript function definition from a file.
    //  It doesn't need to come from a file.  It could just as easily be loaded from a string.
    CkStringBuilder sbScript;
    success = sbScript.LoadFile("js_call_function.js","utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << sbScript.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Note: Each instance of a Chilkat Js object automatically establishes
    //  its own internal runtime and context.  Applications do not need to explicitly create
    //  the JavaScript runtime or context.
    CkJs js;

    CkJsonObject result;
    result.put_EmitCompact(false);

    //  Call Eval to add the function (shown at the bottom of this page) to the context's global object
    success = js.Eval(sbScript,result);
    if (success == false) {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        std::cout << result.emit() << "\r\n";

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        std::cout << js.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << result.emit() << "\r\n";

    //  The expected output is "undefined":

    //  {
    //    "type": "undefined",
    //    "value": "undefined"
    //  }

    //     When Eval processes a script containing only a function declaration,
    //     it successfully performs the action (the function becomes defined).
    //     However, since the script consists of a statement that produces no value,
    //     the script's overall completion value is empty. In JavaScript, the
    //     absence of a value is represented by `undefined`.
    //  
    //     Therefore, the Eval call returns `undefined`.

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Call the function calculateScore("Player1", 10, 20)

    CkJsonObject funcCall;

    //  Create JSON defining the function call:

    //  {
    //    "name": "calculateScore",
    //    "args": [ "Player1", 10, 20 ]
    //  }

    funcCall.UpdateString("name","calculateScore");
    funcCall.UpdateString("args[0]","Player1");
    funcCall.UpdateInt("args[1]",10);
    funcCall.UpdateInt("args[2]",20);

    funcCall.put_EmitCompact(false);
    std::cout << funcCall.emit() << "\r\n";

    success = js.CallFunction(funcCall,result);
    if (success == false) {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        std::cout << result.emit() << "\r\n";

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        std::cout << js.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << result.emit() << "\r\n";

    //  Output:

    //  {
    //    "type": "int",
    //    "value": 37
    //  }

    int retval = result.IntOf("value");
    std::cout << "retval = " << retval << "\r\n";
