Another thing I think is important to mention is that arrow functions are not hoisted, so you cannot call them before you declare them -- Which is not the case with normal functions.

nice vid. however, you need to speak faster (sarcasm).

you could just write your "drive" and "honk" function with the console.log straigth, instead create another function inside to print the object properties.
"this" from arrow functions goes for the outer context, while "this" from regular functions aims the current parent object.

Thank you, your explanation is very clear and helpful. I started out programming on Leetcode in C++, then moved on to learning Python and Django. I am now trying to learn JS and React but man, JS is so confusing!
