This is the final video in the practicing
Arrow functions syntax workshop.
0:01
You've made some awesome progress so far.
0:06
Hopefully by now,
0:08
you're feeling really confident in how
to correctly write Arrow functions.
0:09
But if not, that's totally okay.
0:13
Check the teacher's notes for
0:16
more information and
links back to the course material.
0:17
Keep working through these practices
videos as much as you need.
0:20
Ask questions in the community and
connect with other students.
0:23
Practicing and sometimes struggling is
all part of learning to be a programmer.
0:27
Okay, I bet your eager to see
the solutions for this file.
0:31
So let's jump in.
0:35
Our first function multiplyUs
is almost correct.
0:37
Were you able to see what was wrong?
0:41
If you noticed that our parameters
are missing their enclosing parenthesis,
0:43
then you really know your stuff.
0:47
Once we add those back in,
this function is complete.
0:49
Our second function, subtractFromTen
is missing a vital component.
0:52
The curly braces.
0:58
Without the curly braces, the console.log
is actually outside of our function.
0:59
In the global scope, this means that
our program won't be able to run.
1:05
Because our div variable which is
declared inside our function isn't in
1:10
the proper scope, and won't be accessible
when we try to log it to the console.
1:15
That was a tricky one.
1:21
Great work figuring that out.
1:22
And last but not least our function
printDate has two things wrong with it.
1:25
Were you able to identify both?
1:29
The first one was probably pretty obvious.
1:31
What's that function
keyword doing in there?
1:34
Arrow functions don't use
the function keyword.
1:37
So trying to include it will
cause unwanted behavior.
1:39
The second error in this function
may have been harder to notice.
1:43
But if you look closely,
you'll see that instead of an arrow,
1:47
is actually just an equal sign.
1:50
Oops, once we fixed that,
our debug.js file will run smoothly.
1:52
Let's give it a try.
1:58
Awesome, that looks perfect.
2:06
Well, congrats,
2:09
you just finished the practicing Arrow
functions syntax in JavaScript workshop.
2:10
Great job.
2:15
Keep up the good work, and keep on coding.
