Courses Plus Student 44,108 PointsThey're basically asking you to turn the already written function into something called an IIFE (Immediately-Invoked Function Expression).
You can't invoke an anonymous function later on unless you assign it to a variable. The only thing you can do with them is invoke them immediately, and you do that the same way you would with any other function — by adding () after it.
(function () {
// code that does something
})(); // note the parentheses that invoke the function
Also, that's all you're supposed to do in this task, you're not supposed to add any variables or change the anonymous function, just make it execute.

So if you still need more help after reading Dino Paškvan's advice, post what code you've got so far.
