Hi. The function name is called update not updateFunction. Also remove the console log as you were not asked to include that.

Please try to provide what analysis you’ve already done. If you’re not examining the code yourself and you’re not able to explain what you’ve done, and you have no questions, then you’re missing a huge learning opportunity.

You write: “Please try to imagine what kind of analysis you have already done. If you don’t study the code yourself and you can’t explain what you’ve done and you don’t have any questions, then you’re missing out on a huge learning opportunity.” Yes, I agree with you. I did 45 tasks on my own without any problems: the knowledge gained in previous projects helped. In this project, I got a little confused because of the names of the parameter, the argument and the function itself. Thanks to the help of a1legalfreelance, the problem was solved in the blink of an eye. Here are all the necessary explanations on it. I invite you to the topic: Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game, which I specially created to discuss with you all the problems of coding, including macros and other codes.
