damn. those are tricky!

Now that I've looked into them, I understand all of them except for question 1. how is a function declaration legal in an if statement?

Consider this -

console.log(typeof function f(){})

You will get its type as function. The function can be treated as a value , as in javascript everything is an object. Even functions are objects. Functions can be assigned to a variable as well.

let sum = (a,b) => a + b;

OK. I think I get it. Because a function declaration can be on the RHS of an assignment statement it can go in the middle of an if statement?
