Tell us what’s happening:

I’m stuck on this step. Here is my code that keeps failing:

pauseButton.addEventListener(“click”, (pauseSong) => {});

It’s telling me I should add in pauseSong as the second argument of addEventListener. I’ve tried putting pauseSong() in the bracket portion of the code, but that doesn’t work either. Pretty stuck on this one, any help would be much appreciated!

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

  pauseButton.addEventListener("click", (pauseSong) => {});

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

The second parameter of the listener is a reference to a function so just write the name of the function without parentheses.

Hi there and welcome to our community!

You’re not defining a callback function here, only referring to an extant function, so you only need the function name as the second argument. You don’t even need to follow the function name with parentheses, as you would if you were directly calling the function.
