I'm unsure what makes you say this.

The code above is a function declaration. When you put it in the
console it evaluates to |undefined| because the expression has no
value.

I believe this is the correct result.
If you want to run the function you have to call it. For that you can
use:
GetSelectedText();
or
(function GetSelectedText () { if (window.getSelection)
{ var range = window.getSelection(); alert
(range.toString ()); } })();
