I don't get this need help

It's saying error but not what I made a mistake on, what I did wrong?

app.js 
$.get("footer.html");
var callback = function (response) { };
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>AJAX with jQuery</h1>
  </div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Is this for step 1? Take a closer look at the instructions:

"Pass an anonymous function as the second argument to the method"

The "get" method should have two parameters. The first is "footer.html" and the second will be your anonymous function.

So like this $.get(“footer.html”, function () {});

Exactly! Now you just need to give the anonymous function a parameter as well for the response.
