Question

I saw a function statement like this:

(function(){
     return new Object();
 })();

What does it mean?

IT means create an anonymous function and call it. One called it will return an object of Object. This type of functions are mostly written for some initialization tasks.

(function(){

    // do some init work here...
 })();
