Introduction
In this article we will learn how to invoke a function immediately in JavaScript. The beauty of immediately an invoked function is that, when the page loads, the function will execute, there is no need to call the function explicitly. In this article we will try to understand the implementation of an immediately invoked function.

- <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- <head>
- </head>
- <body>
- <form id="form1" runat="server">
- <script>
-
- (function () {
- console.log('Immediately invoked function');
- })();

More than one immediately invoked function

- })();
-
- (function () {

- })();
-
- </script>
