Anonymous Functions in Javascript

On about line 18, make the anonymous function with the code 'window.didExecute = true' execute.

(function() {
        window.didExecute = true;
      });

Not sure how to execute the function in this context.

All you have to do is put a set of parentheses right after your function definition. Try this and tell me if it works:

function(){
    window.didExecute = true;
}();
//^See these parentheses? That's what makes the function execute
