3,663 PointsSyntax for writing reducer function
I discovered that the syntax used for writing the reducer function follows the classic javascript style which is
function reducer_name(parameter) {
}
My question goes thus, can I use the arrow function to write a reducer function like this; reducer_name=(parameter)=> { }
I need your insight on this. Thanks
