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

2,016 PointsThe issue is due to the semicolon after the return statement. It should go at the end of the functions closing bracket as such:
const greet = (val) => {
return `Hi, ${val}!`
};
greet('cool coders');
A couple of other ways to do this in one line would be:
const greet = val => `Hi, ${val}!`;
//or
const greet = (val = 'cool coders') => `Hi, ${val}!`;
I hope this helps!

But they are both optional, neither one is necessary for the code to function correctly.

231,184 PointsAre you suggesting something to change? I can't see any difference from the original code here.

231,184 PointsWhat kind of error do you get? This looks OK, and when I paste it directly into the challenge, it passes!
You might try restarting your browser.
