Is this an immediately invoked function expression?

Question

I\'m a javascript newbie trying to wrap my mind around this code. I got it here http://brackets.clementng.me/post/24150213014/example-of-a-javascript-closure-settimeout-inside

Answer 1

Yes it is, and the (i) is the argument list for the call. Have a look here for a detailed explanation. The grouping parenthesis are unncessary in this case, as it is an argument to the setTimeout function call and therefore an expression anyway.

The term IIFE does not only refer to the statement form of this pattern, where the parenthesis would be necessary.
