shoutGreetings challenge

Language Help JavaScript

Hi everyone. I’m doing the code challenge shoutGreetings, but I have a doubt about the multi-line function.

I wrote my code, and compared to the answer it doesn’t look wrong. However, when it’s put in a single line it works fine. Why it isn’t working as it is? I can’t figure it out.

const shoutGreetings = arr => {
arr.map(word => {
return word.toUpperCase() + ‘!’
})
};

the console logged Undefined.

shoutGreetings does not return anything.
Either you write

const shoutGreetings = arr => arr.map(word => {
  return word.toUpperCase() + ‘!’
});

(no curly braces around the outer function implies return)

or you write

const shoutGreetings = arr => {
  return arr.map(word => {
    return word.toUpperCase() + ‘!’
  })
};

Thanks for the help. Thanks also for the link on how to properly format the code. I didn’t know.
