Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,410 PointsWhy can't we use arrow functions when defining the constructor function?
When defining the constuctor function as shown below, I get a console error "Dice is not a constructor".
const Dice = (sides) => { this.sides = sides; this.roll = () => { let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * this.sides) + 1; return randomNumber; } } let dice = new Dice(6);
