Why does a function have no body?

I’m learning javascript and saw this code:

const myFunc = () => "value"

why does it use function(without body) instead of normal variable here?

Thanks man. In this case why do we need a function while there is no logic inside it?

It does have logic.

It is a getter method that accepts no parameters (what you are mistaking as no body) and returns the string-value “value”.

Was this something you found on the FCC site?

Yes it’s in a FCC lesson

By having it in a function, this would allow you to change just the return value in the function in one place if you ever decide the need to change the value.

I got it, thank you so much.
