"Usual" functions vs function variables in JavaScript [duplicate]

Question

Is there any difference between

function MyFunc() {     // code... } 

and

var MyFunc = function() {     // code... }; 

in JavaScript?

Answer 1

I know that a difference between them is that named functions work everywhere regardless you declare them, functions in variables don't.

a();//works    function a(){..} 

works

a();//error var a=function(){..} 

doesn't work but if you call it after the declaration it works

var a=function(){..} a();//works 

Answer 2

This article might answer your question : JavaScript function declaration ambiguity.

Only the first one is an actual function declaration, whereas the shorthand method is just a regular variable declaration with an anonymous function assigned to it as its value.
