# What is an anonymous function in Javascript ?

This is a function that has no name or without a name. These type of functions are declared dynamically at runtime using the function operator instead of the function declaration. A function operator is more flexible than a function declaration. It can be easily used in the place of an expression.

```
For example:-
var display=function()
{
  alert("Anonymous Function is invoked");
}
display();  
```
