Hello, and welcome to the forums!

I think you’re experiencing a syntax highlighting issue and not actually a bug in your code. Sometimes the editor in the Codecademy learning environment doesn’t show the right syntax highlighting, especially after using arrow functions.

I still suggest sticking with arrow functions, but be conscious of the possibility that there isn’t a bug. By the end of this project, you won’t see any syntax highlight issues because the code that calls the other functions will be in a function of its own.
