ES6 introduced arrow function syntax, a shorter way to write functions by using the special “fat arrow” () =>
notation.
Arrow functions remove the need to type out the keyword function
every time you need to create a function. Instead, you first include the parameters inside the ( )
and then add an arrow =>
that points to the function body surrounded in { }
like this:
const rectangleArea = (width, height) => {
let area = width * height;
return area;
};
It’s important to be familiar with the multiple ways of writing functions because you will come across each of these when reading other JavaScript code.
