You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do i want to achieve?
    Well, i want to understand how to use this type of functions and where i can use them. (function() end)()

  2. What is the issue?
    I can’t understand where i need to use them

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I couldn’t find any information about this type of function, but i think it similiar to coroutine.wrap(func)()

(function()
    --Something
end)()

you can use function() for triggering events with Connect() or others like part.Touched:Connect(function(), player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(), spawn(function(), pcall(function(), etc

They’re “anonymous” functions (not assigned to anywhere)

#8

Depends on the use-case, but to begin with, I don’t think theres much of a use case for it
