Arrow functions provide a concise way to write functions. Main purpose is to write a function within a function without having to declare it outside and call it.
(parameters) => { statements }
• Single-line arrow functions don’t need curly braces or a return statement.
const add = (a, b) => a + b;
• Arrow functions do not have their own this
context; they inherit this from the parent scope.
function Person() {
this.age = 0;
setInterval(() => {
this.age++; // `this` refers to the Person instance
}, 1000);
}
const p = new Person();
• Arrow functions cannot be used with the new keyword.
