Create the arrow function???

I can't figure this out. I've reviewed a ton of times...

script.js 
greet('cool coders');

function greet(val) {
  return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}

let greet = (val) => {
  return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}
greet('cool coders');

Arrow functions are easy to understand the are very similar to function anonymous function. example of anonymous function or expression is 

let greet = function(val) {
return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}
greet('cool coders');

You store a function in a variable then you call it after it is being declared. Watch a video or two about them and you will be comfortable with me in no time. Happy coding :) You call it after it is being declared.
