Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 18,178 PointsI'm attempting to translate the getArea function expression into an arrow function.
When I call getArea and pass in the "units" parameter (sqfeet, sqmeter, etc.) I get "sqfeet/sqmeter undefined". What am I missing about passing in the unit?
function getArea(width, length, unit) {
const area = width * length;
return ${area} ${unit};
}
getArea(36, 60, sqfeet);

getArea(36, 60, sqfeet); // current code, sqfeet is undefined
getArea(36, 60, "sqfeet"); // fixed
