Often times when you will write a function that is composed of a single line of code, you can actually shorthand to make a function a single line of code. You use what is known as arrow notation. It’s also known as fat arrow syntax or lambda syntax.

int add(int itemA, int itemB) {
    return itemA + itemB;
}
void main() {
    print(add(1, 2));
}
int add(int itemA, int itemB) => itemA + itemB;
void log(String message) => print(message);
void main() {
    log('this space is for rent');
}
void main() => log('this space is for rent');
