In JavaScript, you can return a [value](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23219/an-optimized-description-adds-value-to-experience-and-in-turn-effectively-guest-posting-packages) from an [arrow](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95602/which-country-test-flighted-arrow-3-anti-ballistic-missile-system-and-its-interceptors) [function](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13001/multi-statement-table-valued-user-defined-function-in-sql-server) just like you would with a regular function. Arrow functions allow you to create concise one-liners for returning a value. Here's how you can return a value from an arrow function:

```plaintext
const functionName = (parameter1, parameter2, ...) => {
  // Function body
  return returnValue; // Return statement
};
```

Arrow functions are especially useful for short, single-expression functions, as they allow you to omit the curly braces **{}** and write the expression directly after the **=>**, making the code more concise. For such functions, you can return a value without using the **return** keyword explicitly, like this:

```plaintext
const addNumbers = (num1, num2) => num1 + num2;
```

This is known as an implicit return, and it works when the function body consists of a single expression.
