When I run this IIFE function in the console or using it in document, it doesn't work, per definition it's immediately invoked, so why it's not showing anything on the console?

(function(){ 
   console.log(8);
});

    That's a function expression, but it's not invoked, immediately or otherwise. Add `()` before the last semicolon. – Pointy Nov 19 '17 at 13:58

You missed the execution part.

(function(){ 
   console.log(8);
})(); // () needs to be added
