What is - if there is any - the difference between these two pieces of code:

(function(){
  // code
});

AND

(function(){
  // code
})();

The first one defines an anonymous function, the second one also executes it immediately after. – raina77ow Sep 09 '14 at 08:27

Given `f = function () { /* .. */ }`, it's the same difference as `f` vs `f()`; only the latter actually executes the function. – user2864740 Sep 09 '14 at 08:28
Thanks, very clear now – yossi Sep 09 '14 at 08:33
