To call this outside the function, you would use the return statement inside the function. Then you would pass the function call to the console.log statement. Like so: 

```javascript
var newGreeting = function(name)  {
  return "Hi there " + name; 
};

console.log(newGreeting("Lou")); 
```

So the purpose of this portion of the assignment is to show that `return` is more flexible in your function than console.log. It returns a value that can be used any way you want outside the function. We could also do `alert(newGreeting("Lou"));` in the web browser context, for instance. Anyways, I hope this feedback is helpful. I'm going to go ahead and merge your pull request. Your code looks good.
