00:00:09,357 --> 00:00:09,964
Hey there!

3
00:00:09,964 --> 00:00:13,530
Welcome to practicing arrow
functions syntax in JavaScript.

4
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:17,435
My name is Ashley and this is a follow up
to the third part of the getting started

5
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:20,757
with ES 2015 course,
create functions using arrow syntax.

6
00:00:20,757 --> 00:00:23,093
To get the most out of
this practice session,

7
00:00:23,093 --> 00:00:27,895
I recommend making sure you've completed
that section of the course first.

8
00:00:27,895 --> 00:00:31,280
Arrow functions allows us to write
shorter, more concise functions and

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,570
can be used to solve some scope
related JavaScript problems.

10
00:00:34,570 --> 00:00:35,960
For more information on this and

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,540
the appropriate use of arrow functions,
check out the teacher's notes.

12
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,260
In the meantime,
we'll be practicing the correct syntax for

13
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:46,640
writing arrow functions so you're ready
to incorporate them in future projects.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,070
To get started, check out
the workspace attached to this video.

15
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:57,370
Inside you'll find three files,
convert.js, refactor.js, and debug.js.

16
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:00,560
Each file will give you the chance
to practice arrow function syntax

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,400
in a slightly different way.

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,100
This may seem a little daunting.

19
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:07,190
But don't worry,
we'll go through each file one at a time.

20
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:10,120
By the time you're done with this
practice session you'll be a total pro

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,900
at writing arrow functions.

22
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:17,320
And don't forget, to run your files you'll
use node inside of the workspace console.

23
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,950
We'll start with convert.js.

24
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:21,850
Go ahead and open up this file.

25
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:25,500
Inside, you should see three
regular function declarations,

26
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,640
addToTen, divideUs and printMyName.

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,600
Your goal is to convert each of
these function declarations to

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,560
arrow function expressions.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,470
Give this a try and

30
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:39,670
then head back to video two of this series
to check your work and see my solution.

31
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:40,290
Talk to you soon.
