Hey Zayn,

First of all, great use of jQuery basics. Unlike many other students, you took a step into actually putting your knowledge to work by creating this snippet of code.

One way you can optimize your JS code is to remove the function entirely and change your click function to something like this.

$("#circle").click(function() {
    $(this).next().html("I KNOW YOU HAVE CLICKED IT!");
});

I hope this helps.

This code works 

function iKnowYouHaveClickedIt() {
          return $("#circle").next().html("I KNOW YOU HAVE CLICKED IT!");
      }

      $("#circle").click(function iKnowYouHaveClickedItttttt() {
          iKnowYouHaveClickedIt();
      });

But why this code does not?

function iKnowYouHaveClickedIt() {
          return $("#circle").next().html("I KNOW YOU HAVE CLICKED IT!");
      }

      $("#circle").click(iKnowYouHaveClickedIt();

Could you help me out?
