title: Write Concise Declarative Functions with ES6
challengeType: 1
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
When defining functions within objects in ES5, we have to use the keyword <code>function</code> as follows:
```js
const person = {
name: "Taylor",
sayHello: function() {
return `Hello! My name is ${this.name}.`;
}
};
```
With ES6, You can remove the <code>function</code> keyword and colon altogether when defining functions in objects. Here's an example of this syntax:
```js
const person = {
name: "Taylor",
sayHello() {
return `Hello! My name is ${this.name}.`;
}
};
```
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Refactor the function <code>setGear</code> inside the object <code>bicycle</code> to use the shorthand syntax described above.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: Traditional function expression should not be used.
testString: getUserInput => assert(!removeJSComments(code).match(/function/));
- text: <code>setGear</code> should be a declarative function.
testString: assert(typeof bicycle.setGear === 'function' && code.match(/setGear\s*\(.+\)\s*\{/));
- text: <code>bicycle.setGear(48)</code> should change the <code>gear</code> value to 48.
testString: assert((new bicycle.setGear(48)).gear === 48);
```
</section>
## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
// change code below this line
const bicycle = {
gear: 2,
setGear: function(newGear) {
this.gear = newGear;
}
};
// change code above this line
bicycle.setGear(3);
console.log(bicycle.gear);
```
</div>
### After Test
<div id='js-teardown'>
```js
const removeJSComments = str => str.replace(/\/\*[\s\S]*?\*\/|\/\/.*$/gm, '');
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
const bicycle = {
gear: 2,
setGear(newGear) {
this.gear = newGear;
}
};
bicycle.setGear(3);
```
