Hey itay zelig 👋

You're super close to passing this challenge! In the challenge a hint is provided:

HINT: Arrow functions are not hoisted – or lifted – to the top of their scope. Calling an arrow function before it's defined produces an error.

This means you can not call an arrow function before it has been defined. I see you've already added a new call after the function definition, which is perfect! The only thing left to do to pass this challenge is deleting the call on the first line 🙂

// greet('cool coders');   Delete this line

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