Need help.

What am I supposed to be passing when I call the function?

script.js 
const greet = (name = 'cool coders') =>{};

const greet = ('val') => {
  return `Hi, ${val}!`;
}

greet('');

const greet = (name = 'cool coders') =>{}; // remove this

const greet = ('val') => { // you are passing a string (remove quotes) return Hi, ${val}!; }

greet(''); // pass any string value

The call was already provided, you only need to move it after the function definition (since arrow functions are not hoisted).

But in the definition itself, the parameter should not be enclosed in quotes. You also don't need parentheses when there is just one parameter, but they don't hurt if you leave them.
