  1. Convenience: Anonymous functions are shorter and more convenient to write than named functions. They can be written in-line, without the need to define and name them separately.

  2. Encapsulation: Anonymous functions can encapsulate code and data within a particular scope, without the need to create a named function that may be accessible outside the current scope.

  3. Single-Use: Anonymous functions are useful when the function is required only once and there is no need to save it for later use.

  4. Readability: Anonymous functions can make the code more readable and easier to follow. They are often used in event handlers, where a single line of code is required.

  5. Efficiency: Anonymous functions can be more efficient, as there is no need to declare and maintain an additional function name.
