What this snippet does

Arrow functions inherit 'this' from their enclosing lexical scope — never use them as object methods that need 'this'.

Expected output

arrow: undefined
regular: Alice

Why practise typing this

Typing functions code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
