Why the quiz doesn't take pointer function expression?

when i handle the last topic "handling error", i added fail() to $.get(), but when i add callback function inside of the fail(), the pointer expression for " jqXHR => { //implementation }" not pass checking, only the "function(jqXHR){ //implementation}" can pass the checking. Why?

Hi, this is code, and link will be post below: *** Code starts *** $.get("missing.html", function(data) { $("#footer").html(data); }).fail(function(jqXHR){ alert(jqXHR.statusText); }); *** Code ends ****

or WHY I CAN'T use function pointers here like:

*** Code starts *** $.get("missing.html", function(data) { $("#footer").html(data); // check this part i used function pointer }).fail((jqXHR) => { alert(jqXHR.statusText); }); *** Code ends ****

Here is the quiz link: "https://teamtreehouse.com/library/ajax-basics/jquery-and-ajax/handle-ajax-failures-with-jquery"

Thanks guys!
