20,702 PointsI keep getting the answer: Bummer: The callback still has a name! But the code does work.
I've seen other answers posted for this but I still don't find anything that works.
function log() {
console.log("Hello World!");
}
functionRunner(log);

21,306 PointsYou forgot the exclamation mark "!" in your string. Running your code with the added exclamation mark works for me.

20,702 PointsI thought I would try using that file since it was there and nothing else worked. But you are right, when I tried my revised version of the answer, it did finally work. Thanks for your help.

20,702 PointsYou're right about the exclamation point so I added that, but I still get the same error message. And you're right, it does work. It seems they are looking for a different format of sorts.
BTW, the question is: In the app.js file, functionRunner executes a callback, log. Convert log in to an anonymous function and pass the anonymous function directly into functionRunner.
Then I also tried this:
functionRunner(() => console.log("Hello World!"));
Same error message.

21,306 PointsThe code is correct, but I see you added it to runner.js, why? The change should happen in app.js.
