Challenge: Basic JavaScript - Find the Length of a String
Link to the challenge:
Welcome to the forum!
Could you try to explain in your own words what you don’t understand about this challenge please? The more you say, the more we can help.
You have logged the length of lastName to the console but, to pass the challenge, you should be assigning it to the variable lastNameLength, using the .length property.
This means that whatever string is assigned to lastName, the value of lastNameLength will always be correct.
how. could please just elaborate on this.
Instead of assigning the value 8 explicitly to lastNameLength, assign the length of lastName, using the .length property.
What you should do is to solve it this way.
MOD EDIT: Solution removed.
In the question, it was asked that the lastNameLength length should be eight and we have to print the lastName.length.
In the above code, we’ve got the output off lastNameLength as eight and we’ve logged the lastName.length as well.
Please do not post working solutions on the forum. We are here to offer advice and hints, not solutions.
