Read MoreWhat is the purpose of wrapping whole JavaScript files in anonymous functions?
The purpose of wrapping JavaScript files in anonymous functions is to create a namespace and control the visibility of member functions. It wraps the code inside a function scope and decreases clashing with other libraries. This is what we call Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) or Self Executing Anonymous Function.

The second pair of parentheses immediately calls the function that resulted from the ...

The exclamation mark (!) before a function in JavaScript is used to create an Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE). It transforms a function declaration into an expression that can be executed immediately. How It Works The ! operator has lower precedence than the parentheses (), so the function executes first, then the ! operator applies to its return value: !function() { console.log("IIFE executed!"); }(); IIFE executed! Return Value Behavior Since functions return undefined by default, the ! operator converts this to true: let result1 ...
