The checker seems to require no spaces surrounding the = sign in the parameter list. Remove those spaces and it will pass Task 2, though it ignores the syntax error.
Post back if you have more issues. Good luck!!

ifstatement) was ignored and passes the challenge, and a simple style preference was flagged as non-passing code. The Regex for challenge checker needs updating.
