You're almost there! The correct answer is in your question.

const greet=('cool coders')=>{
  return `hi,${name}`;
}

This part of the code has the string where a parameter should be. However...

const greet=(val)=> {
  return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}

This arrow function is correct! "val" represents the information that will be passed to the function so we can use it inside the function.

Like this!

greet('cool coders');

Also, with arrow functions, remember that the function call must be after the creation of the function.

So, in order to get this correct, delete the first part and move the function call to after your section function. Then just pass the argument to the function and you're done!

If you need the code, I would be happy to provide it, but give it a shot first! I hope this helps!
