# Parentheses in IIFE in JavaScript

Normally, parentheses are used instead of plus when calling a function in-place, because this style is considered more obvious:

`(function() { console.log('!'); }());`

Most often, the parentheses of a function call are placed outside, like this:

`(function() { console.log('!'); })();`
