I'm attempting to translate the getArea function expression into an arrow function.

When I call getArea and pass in the "units" parameter (sqfeet, sqmeter, etc.) I get "sqfeet/sqmeter undefined". What am I missing about passing in the unit?

function getArea(width, length, unit) { const area = width * length; return ${area} ${unit}; } getArea(36, 60, sqfeet);

This is not related to converting to an arrow function, but t looks like you need to supply a string for the units argument.

getArea(36, 60, sqfeet);    // current code, sqfeet is undefined
getArea(36, 60, "sqfeet");  // fixed

Thank you! I discovered that about 10 mins after posting. Felt pretty silly...

Thanks again,
