I was wondering. If this -> (function(){...})() is an IIF ( Instantly Invoked Function ) then what does a function like this do -> !function(){...}

In short: the same. There are different ways to write an IIFE. – Sirko Nov 04 '20 at 07:31

`!function(){...}()` (note the final `()`) is another way to write a IIFE as is `+function() {}()` – Jaromanda X Nov 04 '20 at 07:31

So I can write in both ways, correct? – Nov 04 '20 at 07:31

yes, of course, it's just another notation for effectively the same thing – Jaromanda X Nov 04 '20 at 07:32

you'll often see `;(function(){...})()` as well ... extra `;` aren't a problem in javascript, but a "missing" one can lead to unexpected results – Jaromanda X Nov 04 '20 at 07:35
