Most samples follow a standard structure:

1. Clone the repository: Use Git to download the sample code.
2. Install dependencies: Run the appropriate package manager command (e.g., `npm install`, `pip install`).
3. Configure local settings: Update local.settings.json with your Azure resource connection strings and keys.
4. Run locally: Use the Azure Functions Core Tools to start the function host.
5. Deploy to Azure: Use the Azure CLI or Visual Studio Code extension to deploy your function.

Example: HTTP Trigger Function Snippet

// Node.js Example
module.exports = async function (context, req) {
    context.log('JavaScript HTTP trigger function processed a request.');

    const name = (req.query.name || (req.body && req.body.name));
    const responseMessage = name
        ? "Hello, " + name + ". This HTTP triggered function executed successfully."
        : "This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response.";

    context.res = {
        status: 200,
        body: responseMessage
    };
};
