The function with no name.
If you have tried to understand and debug any JavaScript you would have come across the Anonymous function.
Check out the W3C Schools pages for a full explanation of the syntax and usage of these functions. What I have tried to do here is to show a couple of examples that are used on my web pages.
Below is s "Declared Function":
<script>
var x = myFunction(4, 3);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
function myFunction(a, b) {
return a * b;
}
</script>
The declared function has the name "myFunction". In this case the script executes when the page is loaded.
This is the code that I have on my general page about Javascript Functions. All the function does is to multiply 3 by 4.
and then an Anonymous Function:
<script>document.getElementById("lorem").addEventListener("click", function()
{ location.href = "clickable_text.html" })
;</script>
