JavaScript Arrow Functions
Arrow Function Syntax
Shorter way to write functions.
// Regular function
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
// Arrow function
const add = (a, b) => a + b;
When to Use
Use arrow functions for:
- Callbacks
- Array methods
- Short functions
Don't use for:
- Methods (this binding issues)
- Constructors
Key Takeaway
Arrow functions are shorter. No this binding. Use for callbacks and short functions. Modern JavaScript standard.
