What are some examples of arrow functions in JavaScript?

Arrow functions are a concise way to write function expressions in JavaScript. For example:

1. const add = (a, b) => a + b;
2. const square = x => x * x;
3. const greet = () => 'Hello!';

Would you like to see more examples or explanations?

Can you explain the difference between arrow functions and regular functions?

Sure! The main differences are:

1. Syntax: Arrow functions are shorter and do not require the function keyword.
2. this Binding: Arrow functions do not have their own this context; they inherit it from the parent scope.
3. Arguments Object: Arrow functions do not have an arguments object.

Would you like to see examples illustrating these differences?

Yes, please provide examples!

Here are examples illustrating the differences:

1. this Binding:

   function RegularFunction() {
       this.value = 42;
       setTimeout(function() {
           console.log(this.value); // undefined
       }, 1000);
   }
   new RegularFunction();
   

   In contrast:

   const ArrowFunction = () => {
       this.value = 42;
       setTimeout(() => {
           console.log(this.value); // 42
       }, 1000);
   };
   new ArrowFunction();
   

2. Arguments Object:

   const regularFunc = function() {
       console.log(arguments);
   };
   regularFunc(1, 2, 3); // [1, 2, 3]
   
   const arrowFunc = () => {
       console.log(arguments);
   };
   arrowFunc(1, 2, 3); // ReferenceError: arguments is not defined
