    _i get error_ that's the difference.

The first is a "named function expression" enclosed in parentheses. Function expressions are not added to the current scope, and so you won't be able to call that function the way you are trying to do.

The second is a "function declaration". Function declarations are added to the current scope and that's why you are able to call it.

That second link should tell you everything you need to know about these two constructs.
