Từ khóa function (hàm) có thể dùng để định nghĩa chức năng bên trong một biểu thức.
Cú pháp
var myFunction = function [name]([param1[, param2[, ..., paramN]]]) {

name- Tên hàm. Có thể bỏ qua, trong trường hợp chức năng đó là

statements- Các câu lệnh xử lý các đối số

Mô tả
Một biểu thức chức năng (function) is very similar to and has almost the same syntax as a function statement (see function statement for details). The main difference between a function expression and a function statement is the function name, which can be omitted in function expressions to create anonymous functions. A function expression can be used as a IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) which runs as soon as it is defined. See also the chapter about functions for more information.
Function expression hoisting
Function expressions in JavaScript are not hoisted, unlike function declarations (en-US). You can't use function expressions before you define them:
notHoisted(); // TypeError: notHoisted is not a function
var notHoisted = function() {
console.log('bar');
};
Examples
The following example defines an unnamed function and assigns it to x. The function returns the square of its argument:
var x = function(y) {
return y * y;
};
Named function expression
If you want to refer to the current function inside the function body, you need to create a named function expression. This name is then local only to the function body (scope). This also avoids using the non-standard arguments.callee property.
var math = {
'factorial': function factorial(n) {
if (n <= 1)
return 1;
return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
};
