Syntax:

_.constant(value)

Parameters: This method accepts one parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • value: The value to return from the new function.

Return Value: [Function] It returns the new constant function.

Example 1:

// Using _.constant() method
let gfg = _.times(3, _.constant({ 'geeks': 3 }));
  
// Printing the output 
console.log(gfg);
