JavaScript scope and closure
What is this for?
(function(){
//The code to be executed
})();
Also, has this anything to do with closures?
I’ve seen it often recently. I’m guessing:
No need to name the function. It implies it’s not reusable.
This gives you a local scope to declare variables using
var(otherwise, you would add them to global).
