这个函数称为自调用函数。自调用(也称为自执行)函数是在定义之后立即调用(已调用)的无名(匿名)函数。点击这里阅读更多

这些函数的作用是，当函数被定义时，函数立即被调用，这节省了时间和额外的代码行(与在单独的行上调用相比)。

这里有一个例子:

(函数(){ Var x = 5 + 4; console.log (x); }) ();

IIFE(立即调用函数表达式)是一个在脚本加载和退出时立即执行的函数。

考虑下面写在life .js文件中的函数

(function(){
       console.log("Hello Stackoverflow!");
   })();

上面的代码将在你加载life .js时立即执行，并打印'Hello Stackoverflow!在开发人员工具控制台。

有关详细解释，请参阅立即调用函数表达式(IIFE)

这是一个更深入的解释，为什么你会使用这个:

“使用IIFE的主要原因是确保数据隐私。因为JavaScript的var将变量限定在包含变量的函数内，所以任何在IIFE中声明的变量都不能被外部世界访问。”

这里已经有很多很好的答案了，但这里是我的2美分:p

你可以使用IIFE(立即调用函数表达式):

Avoiding pollution in the global namespace. Variables defined in IIFE (or even any normal function) don't overwrite definitions in global scope. Protecting code from being accessed by outer code. Everything that you define within the IIFE can be only be accessed within the IIFE. It protects code from being modified by outer code. Only what you explicitly return as the result of function or set as value to outer variables is accessible by outer code. Avoid naming functions that you don't need to use repeatedly. Though it's possible to use a named function in IIFE pattern you don't do it as there is no need to call it repeatedly, generally. For Universal Module Definitions which is used in many JS libraries. Check this question for details.

IIFE通常以以下方式使用:

(function(param){
   //code here
})(args);

您可以省略匿名函数周围的括号()，并在匿名函数之前使用void运算符。

void function(param){
   //code here
}(args);

它声明了一个匿名函数，然后调用它:

(function (local_arg) {
   // anonymous function
   console.log(local_arg);
})(arg);

它被称为IIFE -立即调用函数表达式。下面是一个例子来展示它的语法和用法。它用于将变量的使用范围限定在函数之前，而不是超出函数。

(function () {
  function Question(q,a,c) {
    this.q = q;
    this.a = a;
    this.c = c;
  }

  Question.prototype.displayQuestion = function() {
    console.log(this.q);
    for (var i = 0; i < this.a.length; i++) {
      console.log(i+": "+this.a[i]);
    }
  }

  Question.prototype.checkAnswer = function(ans) {
    if (ans===this.c) {
      console.log("correct");
    } else {
      console.log("incorrect");
    }
  }

  var q1 = new Question('Is Javascript the coolest?', ['yes', 'no'], 0);
  var q2 = new Question('Is python better than Javascript?', ['yes', 'no', 'both are same'], 2);
  var q3 = new Question('Is Javascript the worst?', ['yes', 'no'], 1);

  var questions = [q1, q2, q3];

  var n = Math.floor(Math.random() * questions.length)

  var answer = parseInt(prompt(questions[n].displayQuestion()));
  questions[n].checkAnswer(answer);
})();
