Differences between (func(){}()); vs (func(){})();

Question

I commonly see both conventions and I'm wondering if there's an actual difference.

(function () {
  document.write("it works");
}());

(function () {
  document.write("it also works");
})();

Oh yes, the infamous "dog balls"! See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8774425/vs-in-javascript-closures and the links therein. — georg, Oct 12 '13 at 09:32
I guess (func(){}()); did not hit all of those search results. — GraxRabble, Oct 12 '13 at 09:44

There no difference between the two , The opening brace serves as a syntactic hint to tell the parser that what follows is a function expression instead of a function declaration.
