Day 6: JavaScript Made Easy: Unlocking the Power of ES6+ for Effortless Coding

Arrow Functions

Arrow functions provide a more concise syntax for writing functions, especially useful for short, one-line functions.

Example:

// Traditional function
function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

// Arrow function
const add = (a, b) => a + b;

Template Literals

Template literals allow embedding expressions inside string literals, making string concatenation more readable.

Example:

let name = 'John';
let greeting = `Hello, ${name}!`;
console.log(greeting);  // Output: Hello, John!

Destructuring Assignment

Destructuring allows extracting values from arrays or objects and assigning them to variables.

Example:

// Array destructuring
let numbers = [1, 2, 3];
let [a, b, c] = numbers;

// Object destructuring
let person = { name: 'Alice', age: 25 };
let { name, age } = person;

let and const Declarations

let and const are block-scoped alternatives to var for variable declaration. let allows reassignment, while const does not.

Example:

let variable1 = 'Mutable';
const variable2 = 'Immutable';

variable1 = 'New Value';  // Valid for let
// variable2 = 'New Value';  // Error for const

Spread and Rest Operators

The spread operator allows spreading elements of an iterable (like an array) into another. The rest operator collects remaining arguments into an array.

Example:

// Spread operator
let array1 = [1, 2, 3];
let array2 = [...array1, 4, 5];

// Rest operator
function sum(...numbers) {
    return numbers.reduce((total, num) => total + num, 0);
}

console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4));  // Output: 10

What is the difference between a regular function and an arrow function in JavaScript?

Answer: Arrow functions provide a shorter syntax, do not have their own this, and do not have their own arguments object.

How do template literals improve string handling in JavaScript?

Answer: Template literals allow embedding expressions inside strings, making string concatenation more readable and eliminating the need for explicit concatenation.

Explain destructuring assignment and provide an example of its use.

Answer: Destructuring assignment allows extracting values from arrays or objects and assigning them to variables. It improves code readability and reduces the need for multiple lines of code.

What is the difference between let and const in JavaScript?

Answer: Both let and const are block-scoped, but let allows reassignment while const does not. Once a value is assigned to a const variable, it cannot be changed.

How are the spread and rest operators used in JavaScript, and what are their purposes?

Answer: The spread operator is used to spread elements of an iterable into another, while the rest operator collects remaining arguments into an array. They enhance array and parameter handling in a concise way.
