Function Literal

// a function that takes no arguments, and returns void
function () : void {}

// a function that takes one argument (of number) and returns a number that in incremented by one
function (n : number) : number {
    return n + 1;
}

// the argument types and return types may be omitted (if it is deductable from the outer expression)
var sum = 0;
[ 1, 2, 3 ].forEach(function (e) {
    sum += e;
});
log sum; // 6

// short-handed
var sum = 0;
[ 1, 2, 3 ].forEach((e) -> { sum += e; });
log sum; // 6

// short-handed, single-statement function expression
var s = "a0b1c".replace(/[a-z]/g, (ch) -> ch.toUpperCase());
log s; // A0B1C

A statement starting with function is parsed as inner function declaration, as is by JavaScript. Surround function declaration with () if your intention is to create an anonymous function and call it immediately.

// create an anonymous function and execute immediately
(function () : void {
    ...;
})();
