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

There is a good shorthand to this (not needing to declare any variables bar the assignment of the function):

var func = (function f(a) { console.log(a); return f; })('Blammo')

Answer 2

Try to do like that:

var addEventsAndStuff = (function(){
    var func = function(){
        alert('ole!');
    };
    func();
    return func;
})();
