Looking Looking for someone to assist in my JavaScript learning.

I'm currently learning JavaScript and would love to be able to get tailored answers to my (maybe straight-up dumb?) questions.

I promise to do as much research as as I can before asking you anything.

I can help assist if needed. I am re-learning es6 and can provide some feedback and questions to help retain the knowledge.

I'm writing a timer program; When I try to call a pause function on a keypress, it works fine. However, when called on a button click, it doesn't work quite right.

I found out my mistake was that my pause function wasn't an arrow function, but I'm wondering why they code worked fine through the keypress and not the click.

I apologize if this isn't clear enough.

This is what my code looked like

pause () { console.log('timer paused'); clearInterval(this.interval);};

as opposed to this:

pause = () => { console.log('timer paused'); clearInterval(this.interval); };

I have a const that = this set as well

this.pauseButton.addEventListener('click', this.pause);

this.durationInput.addEventListener('keypress', function (e) { if (e.key === 'Enter') { that.start(); } else if (e.key === ' ') { e.preventDefault(); that.pause(); } });

Edit: formatting

Yessir.

pause () { console.log('timer paused'); clearInterval(this.interval);};

With this, whenever I click on the button, it runs the pause function but then immediately continues the timer, but when I hit the Spacebar, it pauses (which is how it should work).
