8,694 PointsArrow function syntax
Why does this work
const users = [
{name: 'Samir', age: 27},
{name: 'Angela', age: 33},
{name: 'Beatrice', age: 42}
];
const noSamir = users.filter( (user) => user.name !== 'Samir' );
but this doesn't?
const users = [
{name: 'Samir', age: 27},
{name: 'Angela', age: 33},
{name: 'Beatrice', age: 42}
];
const noSamir = users.filter( (user) => {user.name !== 'Samir'} );
I thought curly braces in arrow functions were optional?

const noSamir = users.filter(user => { return user.name !== "Samir"; });
