Keep getting either a syntax error or that the log didn’t go through the functionRunner. Help would be appreciated,
function log() {
console.log("Hello World!");
}
functionRunner(log);
functionRunner(function() {
console.log("Hello World!");
})

functionRunner(function () {
console.log("Hello World!");
});
Hope that helps, Dylan
