Anonymous Functions - JsPlayground 2022

The function x below is an anonymous function. It is a function without a name. These functions are stored in variables and do not need function names. It's just a function...without a name...assigned to a variable. They are always invoked (called) using the variable name.


// anonymous examples
var x = function (a, b) {return a * b};
var z = x(4, 3);

// named example
var x = FunctionY(a, b);
function FunctionY(a, b)
{
    return a * b;
}
