Inline function is somewhat different , quoting from wikipedia :
an inline function is a function upon which the compiler has been requested to perform inline expansion. In other words, the programmer has requested that the compiler insert the complete body of the function in every place that the function is called, rather than generating code to call the function in the one place it is defined. Compilers are not obligated to respect this request.
Javascript does not support the concept of inline function. But i found some references in web where callbacks like:
(function(){
setTimeout(/*inline function*/function(){ /*some code here*/ }, 5);})
();
are called inline function. As you can see these function do not have any name either , so they are essentially same as anonymous function. I think ,since you are defining the function where you are using it ,it's been referenced by inline function but the name "anonymous function" best describes the notion.
