I am new to learning dojo and I have come across the require() and define() functions and I can not get my head around either of them. Also, when would I use either of them? A small demo or example would be beneficial. Many Thanks!

require() and define() both used to load dependencies. There is a major difference between these two method. Require(): Method is used to run immediate functionalities. define(): Method is used to define modules for use in multiple locations(reuse).
A JavaScript toolkit that saves you time and scales with your development process. Provides everything you need to build a Web app. Language utilities, UI components, and more, all in one place, designed to work together perfectly. Get Dojo.
require and define are part of the asynchronous module definition (AMD) API.
You use define to define a module that can be consumed by other code. Generally, define will be used in a javascript file. The javascript file is defining a module. All Dojo files use define.
You use require when you are not defining a module, but you require modules that have been defined. Generally, require will be used in HTML pages. The HTML page is not a module, but requires modules to present the page to the user.
