Function In If Condition Clause

I have been given this function to predict the output. It's says refrence error,i am still wondering why? if(function x(){console.log('ABC');}) { x(); } Hope som

Solution 1:

What you have there is a function expression, even if a named one, and you're not assigning that expression to anything. The fact that you're naming it x doesn't mean a function x will be hoisted in the scope, because that doesn't work for expressions.

function foo() {}    // function declaration
(function bar() {}); // named function expression, the () makes it not-a-statement herefoo();  // okbar();  // doesn't exist

So in effect you're never declaring a function x, which is why none exists when you try to call it.
