Can arrow functions be used with callbacks?

Can arrow functions be used with callbacks in JavaScript?

Yes, arrow functions can be used as callbacks in JavaScript. They provide a concise syntax and maintain the lexical scope of 'this'.

Can you give me an example of using an arrow function as a callback?

Sure! Here's an example:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const doubled = numbers.map(num => num * 2);
console.log(doubled); // [2, 4, 6, 8]

In this case, the arrow function is used as a callback for the map method.

What are the advantages of using arrow functions over regular functions?

Arrow functions are shorter and do not have their own 'this' context, which can help avoid common pitfalls with 'this' in callbacks.

Are there any situations where I shouldn't use arrow functions?

Yes, you should avoid using arrow functions when you need a function with its own 'this' context, such as in object methods.
