Why use 2 different approaches when defining functions.
var debug = function() {} and function myFunc() {}
and how about the difference between void functions and functions that return a value ?

No need to worry if you are wondering about some of the finer points of functions in JavaScript, the JavaScript Foundations course has a whole badge devoted to functions in particular it has a video devoted to working with anonymous functions.
If you are doing the Front-end Web Developement track, the JavaScript Foundations course will be your next course.
