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

However, in case of an arrow function or a function expression the function initialization has to be before the call otherwise the console throws an error and it won't work.

const greet= (val)=> {return Hi, ${val}!;}
greet('cool coders'); VM34:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'

15,396 PointsHi, you apparently omitted the quotation marks. Try this:
const greet = (val) => {
return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}
greet('cool coders');

2,377 PointsYou are probably missing backticks ``
const greet = (val) => {
return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}
greet('cool coders');
