What is the point of using a named function expression?

    • Some people prefer to do it like this because if errors occur, your functions have names. It's mostly a matter of preference and how often you have trouble with unnamed functions.

    You don't normally see it used in a var declaration, but instead when declaring callbacks: 

    callbackFunction(function success() { ... }, function fail() { ... })

    That way you know which argument is which, they're labelled, and if one of them fails you get a precise indication of which one broke. 

    var b = function bar(){
   return 3;
}
bar()
=> bar is not defined

    The identifier bar is only available inside of the function. Try 

    var b = function bar() {
    console.log(bar);
}
b();

    why does one ever use a named function expression?

    To allow referencing a function expression that was not assigned to a reachable or constant variable, eg for recursion in an IEFE.

    Also, named functions show up different during debugging, eg in call stack (trace)s or breakpoint listings. Often you can use a (named) function declaration instead of a function expression, see also http://blog.niftysnippets.org/2010/03/anonymouses-anonymous.html.
