- you need a space between the word "function" and the function's name
- you don't want a semicolon between the parentheses and the braces

20,006 Points//You have many options in javascript to write a function:
// Function declarations:
function sayHi() {
// whatever logic goes here!
}
//Function expressions:
const sayHi = function () {
// whatever logic goes here!
}
//Arrow function
const sayHi = () => {
// whatever logic goes here!
}
Good luck :)
