How do I wrap this function call

I am looking at this tutorial and the author assumes some piece of knowledge that I must not have.

They state this is the javascript code:

if (typeof (SDK) == "undefined")
    ........snipped for brevity see full code at tutorial link
};

and then they say you can call it with:

  SDK.Action.ApproveRequest(salesOrderId, approvedById);

What is eluding me is don't I have to wrap the "chunk" of javascript code in some function wrapper to be able to call it....or can you just put random javascript in a js file and somehow it works?

Also my title is weak and I will update it with better keywords if you have any suggestions.

TIA

Yes. JS in a JS file is interpreted when loaded via a script element.

If the JS includes a function declaration, it is interpreted as "Here is a function!".

Other kinds of expressions are also interpreted.

If that wasn't the case then it would be impossible to call any function (other then via intrinsic event attributes).
