JavaScript named function

A named function is a function with a function name:

Named functions can be either declared in a statement or used in an expression. Named function expressions create readable stack traces. The name of the function is bound inside its body, and that can be useful. And we can use the name to have a function invoke itself, or to access its properties like any other object.

Declaring a named function binds the function to the name in its surrounding environment

We can declare a named function anywhere, and its binding can be used everywhere.
