“For example, if we created a variable const firstName = "Ada", we could find out how long the string Ada is by using the firstName.length property.”

Can you explain what you don’t understand about this example?

The ‘lastNameLenght’ is initialized with the value of zero in the first code line.
Now, you have to assign the length of the ‘lastName’ variable to the ‘lastNameLength’ (after that the value will not be zero anymore). So apply the .length method on the ‘lastName’ variable in the last code line:

variableLenght = variable.method; ...this is guidance

Add the console.log(lastNameLength) to see the length of the string in question.

lastNameLenght = lastName;

lastName.lenght;
it dont work

You are spelling the property name wrong. It is length not lenght.

Same here.

Perhaps it’s because there is a typo in the word length? Try this instead:

lastNameLength = lastName.length;
