Difference between “anonymous function” and “function literal” in JavaScript?

Question

The book Learning JavaScript defines anonymous functions as follows...

Functions are objects. As such, you can create them - just like a String

Answer 1

An anonymous function is simply a function with no name.

function(a, b){
  return a + b;
}

The above code would be useless as it has no name to which you could call it with. So they are usually assigned to a variable.

var func = function(a, b){
  return a + b;
}

This is helpful because you can pass an anonymous function to another function or method without having to create the function before hand, as demonstrated below.

function bob(a){
  alert(a());
}

bob(function(){
  return 10*10;
})
