Javascript Question

Question

Why do we have to declare a JS function inside a variable?
Eg: var a = function name() {}
Can we not declare it like this?
function name() {}

Answer 1

In first type you need not to mention name
Like
var a = function (){

}

. You can call it as a();

It's called annonymous function and more secure.

Second type is normal function you can call it as
name();

Answer 2

Yup, u can do both.
