Hi !

I guess you're talking about creating a named function :

function myLittleFunction() { ... }

VERSUS creating an anonymous function and assigning it to a variable/property :

var myLittleFunction = function() { ... }

There are several differences ; the most "visible" is that you can use a named function before its declaration, but you can't with an anonymous function.

You can find more information and pointers here :

you can also make function expression with name:

var myLittleFunction = function myLittleFunction() { ... }

it helps when debugging and makes that function is visible from itself and you can write something like

var someFunction = function myLittleFunction() {  requestAnimFrame(myLittleFunction)};
