Arrow functions in React

Arrow functions are a concise way to write anonymous `function expressions` in `JavaScript`. They were introduced in ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) and provide a more compact syntax compared to traditional function declarations. Here are some examples demonstrating the usage of `arrow-functions`:

1. Basic arrow function syntax:

```js
const greet = () => {
  console.log("Hello!");
};
greet(); // Output: Hello!

```

2. Arrow function with parameters:

```js
const greetWithName = (name) => {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
};
greetWithName("Alice"); // Output: Hello, Alice!

```
3. Arrow function with implicit return:

```js
const square = (x) => x * x;
console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25

```
4. Arrow function with multiple statements:

```js
const sum = (a, b) => {
  const result = a + b;
  return result;
};
console.log(sum(3, 4)); // Output: 7

```
5. Arrow function as a callback:

```js
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const squaredNumbers = numbers.map((num) => num * num);
console.log(squaredNumbers); // Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]


```
6. Arrow function with destructuring:

```js
const person = { name: "John", age: 30 };
const greetPerson = ({ name, age }) => {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}! You are ${age} years old.`);
};
greetPerson(person); // Output: Hello, John! You are 30 years old.

```
7. Arrow function in higher-order functions:

```js
const multiplier = (factor) => (value) => value * factor;
const double = multiplier(2);
console.log(double(5)); // Output: 10
const triple = multiplier(3);
console.log(triple(5)); // Output: 15


```
Arrow functions have lexical scoping of the `this` keyword, meaning they do not have their own `this` context. Instead, they inherit `this` from the surrounding code. This behavior can sometimes lead to unexpected results when using arrow functions as methods on objects or when using them with `this`.
