Basic Javascript functions

Question

I am just starting to learn programming and I am learning through codeacademy.com but I am stuck on this problem that they gave me. When I input this function like they told me to it gives me a syntax error. Any help is appreciated

// Write your foodDemand function below.
// Last hint: In your reusable block of code, end each line
// with a semicolon (;)
var foodDemand = Function("food"); {
    console.log ("I want to eat" + " " + food);
};
foodDemand ("Pizza");

It looks like you meant to write var foodDemand = function(food){...} without quotes around "food". Otherwise, in your console.log you're passing in a variable, food, that has not been defined.

Your syntax is wrong. Check some documentation about functions in JavaScript: here
