A closure gives you access to an outer function’s scope from an inner function

Why do you access Symbol.iterator via brackets?

Closed 3 years ago.
I recently learned that to get an iterator from an Array, you have to access it using syntax that I have never seen before: let iterator = myArray[Symbol.iterator]()
It seems to me that implementing Array.prototype.getIterator() would have been a more idiomatic way to go, but I must be oversimplifying or just not understanding the significance of accessing this property of arrays in this particular way.
In attempting to deepen my understanding of the inner workings of JavaScript I was hoping someone could explain this diversion from a more traditional syntax.

Facing a Javascript problem that has to be simple. Going nuts.
I declare and assign a variable as usual: 'let that = this';
When running the code in the Chrome debugger, 'this' is defined and has a value, but 'that' remains undefined. I know that 'this' is fickle in Javascript, but we're speaking the line after the assignment.
Any idea of what would happen? This is in a quite simple event handler, don't see where there could be a trap.
I started using Flow and transpiling JS with Codekit. I have the impression that Chrome debugger has gone a bit unstable since, could it be related?
Many thanks!

I have noticed that when coding in javascript, it doesn't matter if i declare the function before or after i call it. In other languages it will cause an exception, but when running javascript in chrome it works just fine. Is that only in chrome, or is that normal?

What is the difference between a 'closure' and a 'lambda'?
Hello everyone!
I'm a JavaScript developer. I know what is closure and how it works in JavaScript.
But today I see a new noun "lambda". What is lambda? It appears to be relevant to closure in JavaScript. What's the difference between lambda and closure in JavaScript?
Thank you!
Refer to Wikipedia:
In mathematical logic and computer science, lambda calculus, also written as λ-calculus, is a formal system for function definition, function application and recursion.
