}
var say2 = sayHello2('Bob');
say2(); // logs "Hello Bob"

Answer 1

hmmm idk. when i run the code it ouputs as: function() { console.log(text); }

Answer 2

I expected the output to be: Hello Bob

Answer 3

You have to give document.write() something that can be written to the page. At the moment you are giving it a function. You might have wanted to write document.write(say2()) but this also wouldn’t work because say2 doesn‘t return anything

Answer 4

function sayHello3(name) {
var text = 'Hello ' + name; // Local variable
var say = function() {
console.log(text);
return text
return say;
}
var say3 = sayHello3('Joe');
var z = say3();
document.write(z);

Finally worked to a solution

Answer 6
