# --description--

Your `addCharacters(char1)` is also returning a function, which returns another function. You need to make another function call to access that innermost function reference for the `.map()` callback. JavaScript allows you to immediately invoke returned functions:

```js
myFunc(1)("hi");
```

Immediately invoke the function returned from your `addCharacters(char1)` call, and pass `char2` as the argument.

# --hints--

You should chain a function call to your `addCharacters(char1)` call.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/\(\[A-J\]\)\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\?\):\(\[A-J\]\)\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\?\)\/(gi|ig)\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeFromString\s*=\s*\(\s*num1\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\s*=>\s*range\(\s*parseInt\(\s*num1\s*\)\s*,\s*parseInt\(\s*num2\s*\)\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+elemValue\s*=\s*(\(\s*num\s*\)|num)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*character\s*\)|character)\s*=>\s*idToText\(\s*character\s*\+\s*num\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+addCharacters\s*=\s*(\(\s*character1\s*\)|character1)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*character2\s*\)|character2)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*num\s*\)|num)\s*=>\s*charRange\(\s*character1\s*,\s*character2\s*\)\.map\(\s*elemValue\(\s*num\s*\)\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeExpanded\s*=\s*x\.replace\(\s*rangeRegex\s*,\s*\(\s*match\s*,\s*char1\s*,\s*num1\s*,\s*char2\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\s*=>\s*rangeFromString\(\s*num1\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\.map\(\s*addCharacters\s*\(\s*char1\s*\)\(/);
```

You should pass `char2` as the argument to your chained function call.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s+evalFormula\s*=\s*\(\s*x\s*,\s*cells\s*\)\s*=>\s*{\s*const\s+idToText\s*=\s*(\(\s*id\s*\)|id)\s*=>\s*cells\.find\(\s*(\(\s*cell\s*\)|cell)\s*=>\s*(?:cell\.id\s*===\s*id|id\s*===\s*cell\.id)\s*\)\.value\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeRegex\s*=\s*\/\(\[A-J\]\)\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\?\):\(\[A-J\]\)\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\?\)\/(gi|ig)\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeFromString\s*=\s*\(\s*num1\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\s*=>\s*range\(\s*parseInt\(\s*num1\s*\)\s*,\s*parseInt\(\s*num2\s*\)\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+elemValue\s*=\s*(\(\s*num\s*\)|num)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*character\s*\)|character)\s*=>\s*idToText\(\s*character\s*\+\s*num\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+addCharacters\s*=\s*(\(\s*character1\s*\)|character1)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*character2\s*\)|character2)\s*=>\s*(\(\s*num\s*\)|num)\s*=>\s*charRange\(\s*character1\s*,\s*character2\s*\)\.map\(\s*elemValue\(\s*num\s*\)\s*\)\s*;?\s*const\s+rangeExpanded\s*=\s*x\.replace\(\s*rangeRegex\s*,\s*\(\s*match\s*,\s*char1\s*,\s*num1\s*,\s*char2\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\s*=>\s*rangeFromString\(\s*num1\s*,\s*num2\s*\)\.map\(\s*addCharacters\s*\(\s*char1\s*\)\(\s*char2\s*\)\s*\)/);
