This is from MDN web docs

(function () {
    //statements
})();

But i've seen this usage down below too

(function() {
    //statements
}());

It seems both works. But which is best practice and why is there such difference? First one seems more appropriate imo

Glad it worked. I already burned my dupe vote on something silly otherwise I'd vote to close. – ggorlen Jun 11 '20 at 00:05
