Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t get this syntax right.

Your code so far

const getCurrentSongIndex = () => {userData?.songs.indexOf(userData.currentSong)};

Hi!
Your challenge here is the use of “implicit return”. The arrow function will return (in this case set the variable calling it) the first line of code. When we put something in {}, we’re essentially saying “all of this should be considered together”. So you’re code will work if you use a {}, but you must explicitly use the word return on the value you want to return.

Sorry, I’m still not following. Do I need to add “return” inside the {} braces?

Well, try each way. What happens?
