hi there,

which line of code do you believe completes this requirement from the exercise?

Use the .length property to set lastNameLength to the number of characters in lastName .

3

It seems to be the last one

4

this is the last one you believe will “set lastNameLength to the number of characters in lastName”?

5

Thats what I was thinking

6

What about this line? How would you describe what it does?

7

I can’t get my head around it quite yet

8

perhaps review this topic first then get back to me?

9

Is lastNameLength = lastName not checking the number of characters in Lovelace .ie the lastname

10

What part of that is finding the length of the string?

11

I solved it Thanks for the guidance
