I can't get task 2 to execute

I can't seem to get the code to execute in the second function:

<script>
      var anonymousFunction = function() {};

      anonymousFunction(function() {window.didExecute = true;});
</script>

For some reason the post divided part of the code from the code window so be sure to look at it together:

var anonymousFunction = function() {};

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

var anonymousFunction = function(){};

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

You have to use the () at the end oft the anonymous function to make it execute
