๐Ÿš€ JavaScript Functions: Arrow Functions, Callbacks, and Closures ๐Ÿ“œ

Hey, JavaScript enthusiasts! ๐ŸŒŸ Ready to dive into the world of functions?

Letโ€™s break it down with some cool concepts youโ€™ll use all the time!

  1. Arrow Functions โžก๏ธ

Say goodbye to long function syntax! Arrow functions are short and sweet ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Plus, they handle this a bit differently.


const add = (a, b) => a + b;

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

No more typing function! Less is more, right? ๐Ÿคฉ

  1. Callbacks ๐Ÿ“ž

Callbacks are like passing notes between functions. One function calls another when itโ€™s ready!

Theyโ€™re super helpful for tasks that take time, like fetching data from a server.


function processUserInput(callback) {

 const name = prompt('Enter your name');

 callback(name);

}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Just drop the callback like itโ€™s hot ๐Ÿ”ฅ!

  1. Closures ๐Ÿ”’

Closures are like function vaultsโ€”securely storing variables even after the function is done. Need access to an old variable? Closures have your back ๐Ÿ’ผ!


function outer(outerVar) {

 return function inner(innerVar) {

  console.log(outerVar, innerVar);

 };

}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Unlock the power of closures in your code ๐Ÿ”“!

Pro Tip: Mastering these will take your JavaScript skills to the next level! ๐Ÿ† Keep coding, keep learning! ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ’ก
