"this" keyword in an arrow function

The JavaScript 'this' keyword refers to the object it belongs to. In an arrow function, 'this' belongs to a global object. Inside a simple function, there might be chances that 'this' keyword can result in undefined but in an arrow function it results in an exact value.

         };
      }
   }
   let info = new Student('picaso', 'seventh');
   let printInfo = info.details();
   printInfo();
</script>
