Anonymous Function Exercise

I'm not sure what is expected in the coding challenge. It keeps telling me there is a syntax error and I can't find where the syntax error is. So how should the anonymous function be written for this exercise?

In JavaScript you can use the following:

 var anonymousFunction = function(){};

That's what I thought I was doing. I was just making the exercise more complicated than it was. I was thinking that the two challenges were creating one function instead of two separate anonymous functions. I need to stop over complicating things.

Thanks for your help!

No problem!

That is a good thing to remember as you work through most of the challenges here at Treehouse. Follow what the directions for the task are saying and don't try to add additional code to it as often times the challenge validator is rather "picky" about the code it will accept.

Best of luck.
