Check once more how you should name the function

3

is that a hint? lol i checked it looks like it should work i dont see anything wrong

4

You need to do these two things

  1. Create a function called reusableFunction which prints "Hi World" to the dev console.
  2. Call the function.

Compare once more the task and your solution. You should see the difference

my bad i was looking the wrong problem when i wrote that

7

I figured, no problem…

8

reusableFunction() {

console.log(“Hi World”);

}

reusableFunction();

how is that different than what i put?

9

Well, in your first post you were naming the function ourReusableFunction()
Now it looks good

10

foo() { ... } is method syntax and only valid inside an object or class. In all other places, you need to use the function keyword, or it’ll be interpreted as calling foo() then a syntax error as it hits the braces.

In your initial post you have named your function ourReusableFunction() and then called that same function. The challange that was given told that you need to name the function reusableFunction and after that to call it.
So the only difference in what you wrote and what was asked was the name of the function and for that reason you were failing the challange. I hope this is clear :slightly_smiling_face:

your function needs the keyword function before its name
example:

function functionName() {
//do something;
}
