^title Fn Class
^category core
A first class function—an object that wraps an executable chunk of code.
[Here](../functions.html) is a friendly introduction.
### new **Fn**(function)
2015-02-22 12:34:32 -08:00
Creates a new function from... `function`. Of course, `function` is already a
function, so this really just returns the argument. It exists mainly to let you
create a "bare" function when you don't want to immediately pass it as a [block
argument](../functions.html#block-arguments) to some other method.

:::dart
var fn = new Fn {
IO.print("The body")
}

It is a runtime error if `function` is not a function.

### **arity**
The number of arguments the function requires.
:::dart
IO.print(new Fn {}.arity) // 0.
IO.print(new Fn {|a, b, c| a }.arity) // 3.
