Run the function locally

Run your function by starting the local Azure Functions runtime host from the LocalFunctionProj folder:
```
func start
```
Toward the end of the output, the following lines should appear:
```
 ...
 
 Now listening on: http://0.0.0.0:7071
 Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
 
 Http Functions:
 
         HttpExample: [GET,POST] http://localhost:7071/api/HttpExample
 ...
 
 
```
[!NOTE]
If HttpExample doesn't appear as shown above, you likely started the host from outside the root folder of the project. In that case, use Ctrl+C to stop the host, navigate to the project's root folder, and run the previous command again.
Copy the URL of your HttpExample function from this output to a browser and append the query string ?name=<YOUR_NAME>, making the full URL like http://localhost:7071/api/HttpExample?name=Functions. The browser should display a message like Hello Functions:
The terminal in which you started your project also shows log output as you make requests.
When you're done, use Ctrl+C and choose y to stop the functions host.
