#2

this variable LastNameLength is not the same as lastNameLength
(the later one is the one you want to log if needed)

#3

You don’t have to put the last console.log(),
and if you want to print it to the console you have to use the variable in which the value is stored

Hi there, please don’t post code solutions on the forum.

#5

You have defined lastNameLength = 0;
Then assigned lastNameLength = lastName.length; which is fine

But you are doing console.log(LastNameLength);
lastNameLength is not same as LastNameLength

L is capitalised in latter and is not defined.
Instead do console.log(lastNameLength);

Variable name should match exactly.
