The Difference Between Regular Functions and Arrow Functions in JavaScript
Other then the syntactical differences. The main difference is the way the this keyword behaves? In an arrow function, the this keyword remains the same throughout the life-cycle of the function and is always bound to the value of this in the closest non-arrow parent function. Arrow functions can never be constructor functions so they can never be invoked with the new keyword. And they can never have duplicate named parameters like a regular function not using strict mode.
Here are a few code examples to show you some of the differences
this.name = "Bob";const person = {
name: “Jon”,<span style="color: #008000">// Regular function</span> func1: <span style="color: #0000ff">function</span> () { console.log(<span style="color: #0000ff">this</span>); }, <span style="color: #008000">// Arrow function</span> func2: () => { console.log(<span style="color: #0000ff">this</span>); }}
person.func1(); // Call the Regular function
// Output: {name:“Jon”, func1:[Function: func1], func2:[Function: func2]}person.func2(); // Call the Arrow function
// Output: {name:“Bob”}
The new keyword with an arrow function
const person = (name) => console.log("Your name is " + name); const bob = new person("Bob"); // Uncaught TypeError: person is not a constructor

JavaScript Snake Game Tutorial - Develop a Simple Snake Game
Work on real-time JavaScript Snake game project and become a pro
Snake game is an interesting JavaScript project for beginners. Snake game is a single-player game, which we’ve been playing for a very long time. The game mainly consists of two components – snake and fruit. And we just need to take our snake to the food so that it can eat and grow faster and as the number of fruits eaten increases, the length of snake increases which makes the game more interesting. While moving if the snake eats its own body, then the snake dies and the game ends. Now let’s see how we can create this.
JavaScript Project Prerequisites
To implement the snake game in JavaScript you should have basic knowledge of:
1. Basic concepts of JavaScript
2. HTML
3. CSS
Download Project Code
Before proceeding ahead please download source code of Snake Game: Snake Game in JavaScript
Steps to Build the Project – JavaScript Snake game
1. Create Html file
HTML builds the basic structure. This file contains some basic HTML tags like div, h1, title, etc. also we’ve used bootstrap (CDN is already included).
index.html:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>DataFlair Snake game</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-9aIt2nRpC12Uk9gS9baDl411NQApFmC26EwAOH8WgZl5MYYxFfc+NcPb1dKGj7Sk" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="static/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class ="Jumbotron">
<h1>DataFlair Snake game using vanilla JavaScript</h1>
<h2 class="btn btn-info">

<div class="containerCanvas">

<script src="static/fruit.js"></script>

We have used simple HTML tags except

Learn the Concepts of Vanilla JavaScript while Building a Privacy Card Game
Is Vanilla JS even important to learn?
Vanilla JS is a name to refer to using plain JavaScript without any additional libraries.
Now you may ask — Is it worth to spend time on learning Vanilla JS when we have so many frameworks around making the development process and efficient for us?
If your knowledge is limited only to a single JavaScript framework, you will have a hard time learning a new one. All the JavaScript frameworks and libraries are inevitably based on its Vanilla core. This should convince anyone that knowledge of a pure JavaScript is a must in the long run. — David Kopal
That said, it is true that investing time in Vanilla JavaScript will pay off in the long run. So keeping this significance of Vanilla JS in mind, let’s dive in this tutorial to understand JavaScript concepts along with creating an interesting game.
What are we making?

Story behind this Project
If you are into stories like me, then you might be interested in knowing — How I came up with the idea of this project? (If you are not interested in knowing this story, skip to the next section to understand the Project Structure).
Some years ago, when I was in school, I attended a seminar about Cyber Security. So when I came across an article about Cybersecurity few months aback, it strikes to me that the whole seminar I attended back in school can be converted to a game to educate kids about Internet Privacy. So Let’s Begin.

Function Expression vs Function Declaration in JavaScript
Function Expression vs Function Declaration in JavaScript.
It was until during one of the JavaScript mock interviews did I came across the term function expression.
The question was: What is the difference between these two syntax?
function x(){
}
let x = function(){
}
I was clueless for a moment. After thinking a little, I could only come up with: the second syntax invokes an _anonymous _function and is assigned to a variable.
I was alien to the term hoisting.
In this article, we will acquaint ourselves with three simple terms: function declaration,_ function expression, _and hoisting.
What is function declaration?
Function declaration is also known as _function statement. _It contains the name of the function, parameters, and a return statement. **Naming the function **is what sets function declaration apart. Parameters and return statement is optional.
Function Declaration
What is function expression?
Function expression also has a name, parameters, and return statement. All of which are optional. The important thing to bear in mind is: the function here is _assigned _to a JavaScript variable.
Function Expression
