I have code that has the following functions written:
testing: function() {
///
}
what is the difference of writing it as :
testing() {
///
}
Do they mean the same thing and have the same purpose?

3the first is not valid JS, you meant: `testing = function()...` ? – Calvin Nunes Nov 17 '20 at 17:31

1@CalvinNunes It's valid as part of an object literal. – Barmar Nov 17 '20 at 17:32

1yes, i know, but it is not mentioned here – Calvin Nunes Nov 17 '20 at 17:34

1@CalvinNunes In that case the second isn't valid, either, it should be `function testing() { ... }` – Barmar Nov 17 '20 at 17:34

The two are equivalent if they're part of an object literal. – Barmar Nov 17 '20 at 17:37

now if it were an arrow function there would be some differences – epascarello Nov 17 '20 at 18:08
