1) Semicolon after first function expression is missing, so overall expression is equivalent to: | |
var fn = function(){ alert('X'); }(function(){})(); | |
2) Which is essentially double invocation of a function and an assignment of its result to `fn`: | |
var fn = function(){ alert('X'); }()(); | |
^^^^ | |
3) an error should be thrown since first invocation returns `undefined`, making and expression equivalent to: | |
var fn = (undefined)(); // Error | |
