What is the difference between arrow functions and regular functions?

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

Sure! Arrow functions are a more concise way to write functions in JavaScript. They do not have their own 'this' context, which means they inherit 'this' from the parent scope.

What do you mean by 'this' context? How does it affect the function?

'This' refers to the object that is executing the current function. In regular functions, 'this' can change based on how the function is called, while in arrow functions, 'this' is lexically bound, meaning it stays the same as the surrounding code.

Can you give me an example of both types of functions?

Of course! Here's a regular function:

function regularFunction() {
    console.log(this);
}

And an arrow function:

const arrowFunction = () => {
    console.log(this);
};

Are there any other differences I should know about?

Yes! Arrow functions also cannot be used as constructors, meaning you can't use 'new' with them, and they don't have the 'arguments' object.
