Can I name a JavaScript function and execute it immediately?

Question

I have quite a few of these:

function addEventsAndStuff() {
  // bla bla
}
addEventsAndStuff();

function sendStuffToServer() {
  // send stuff
  // get HTML         


        

Answer 1

If you want to create a function and execute immediately -

// this will create as well as execute the function a()
(a=function a() {alert("test");})();

// this will execute the function a() i.e. alert("test")
a();
