answer = (function transformEntry(source) { Syntax

Is this a function that calls itself simultaneously?
I am concerned here with the syntax

We name the function and execute it directly without
transformEntry(); to need?

An using der Object Source?

answer = (function transformEntry(source) {

})(source);

@Meloper

that is the Self-executing function

A self-executing function is both declared and invoked within the same script field. Whenever writing a script that only needs to run in a single context, such as a transform map script, use this type of function. For functions that must run in multiple contexts, consider reusable functions instead.

answer is the OOB variable which is available and holds the value to be stored in the target field when used in field map script

these are self invoking function ,that means they will be invoked automatically the same way as business rules.
