Error stating that the function declaration doesn't have a parameter named value. What am I missing here?
const returnValue = (value) => {
return value;
}

For this course, try sticking with the conventional function definition syntax.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,771 PointsYou’re not missing anything really.
Technically a function declaration takes this format:
function nameOfFunction (param) {};
What you’ve written is a function expression.
Your code works perfectly as is, but to complete this challenge you’ll need to declare your function using the function keyword.

12,769 PointsAlso just as additional information I'm alternatively getting an error that says cannot read property '1' of null. On the same exact code. I even checked wrote the code in Atom checked that it worked (it does) and copied it back just to make sure i didn't have a syntax error in my original code. Not sure if I'm misunderstanding what they're asking for or?
