Absolutely fine! Arrow functions are simply a more concise way to write small functions (they have some other benefits with JavaScript's this scope, which I'm sure will be covered in a later course).

You could also have referenced a function declaration, like so:

function changeColour() {
  myHeading.style.color = "red";
}

const myHeading = document.querySelector("#myHeading");

myHeading.addEventListener("click", changeColour);
