Hi, I asked this a long time ago... I already forgot so I'm asking again...


How does

var myVar = myFunction();

differ from...


var myVar = myFunction;


thanks...

Runs function and stores value into myVar
var myVar = myFunction();

Stores the function into the variable myVar
var myVar = myFunction;

You would be able to do

myVar(); and it will execute the function store in it.
