I think inside your greet function you want to make val a parameter instead of 'cool coders'. You pass 'cool coders' into the function. Shouldn't need the "const val= greet" line either

The arrow function can be tricky, in the first line change the "cool coders" to val without the () around it Second Val i assume is standing for value so where the "" set is is where you feed the arrow function the value. you can also get rid of the second line of code. the function to call is greet so at the bottom when you call greet() what you are giving the function in between the parenthesis is the value you are passing to the function. feel free to comment and tag me with any other questions with this :) keep trying!

you should be left with the function looking like this 

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