 Sometimes that's handy to declare a local function only needed in that block alone. But that feature may also cause problems.
 
-For instance, let's imagine that we need to declare a function `welcome()` depending on the `age` variable that we get in run time. And then we plan to use it some time later.

 Arrow functions are handy for one-liners. They come in two flavors:
 
-1. Without figure brackets: `(...args) => expression` -- the right side is an expression: the function evaluates it and returns the result.
-2. With figure brackets: `(...args) => { body }` -- brackets allow us to write multiple statements inside the function, but we need an explicit `return` to return something.
