In the following: val isEven: Int => Boolean = _ % 2 == 0 Did I declare an anonymous function, or a function called isEven using function literal syntax? Or both?

This is an actual question - my reasoning has always been that since the function was named (isEven), it was by definition not anonymous. I assumed that anonymous functions were function literals passed directly to higher order functions, for example. But now I don't know :/

You can consider that anonymity depends on the scope. On the RHS of the `=`, the function is anonymous. But as soon as your scope binds an identifier to the function, it ceases to be anonymous.
