It looks correct to me! Please help!

The message "make sure to pass 'greet' a string" keeps coming up. My code looks identical to the hints and to my notes.

script.js 
const greet = ('cool coders') => {

};

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

Hey Susanna Clough,

The code you have written is incorrect because you are trying to convert a call greet('cool coders') into arrow function.

Try the following code:

Here, I have converted function declaration into arrow function and then called by its name.

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

greet('cool coders');

Hope this helps!!

Why is the function call at the bottom of the file? :)

I recommend clicking the restart button and trying again. In this challenge, you should be converting the function declaration into an arrow function. You converted the function call into one instead.

Let me know if this helps!

Arrow function are not hoisted like function declaration therefore it needs to be called after it's been defined.
