"# Step 17

To display the songs in the UI (User Interface), you’ll need to create a function.

Use the arrow function syntax to create a renderSongs function that takes in array as its parameter."

My code is:

const renderSongs = (array) => {

it then says renderSongs should be a function.

Any ideas where I am going wrong here?

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
