JavaScript
#1

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I have 3 ticks and cannot work out what the last one requires me to do: 2. Call the function with two numbers as arguments.

Your code so far

function functionWithArgs(one, two) {
  console.log(one + two);
}
functionWithArgs("one", "two")

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I’ve completed 3 of the 4 ticks and have no idea what the final request is asking of me: 2. Call the function with two numbers as arguments.

Your code so far

function functionWithArgs(one, two) {
  console.log(one + two);

you have given two strings to the function, not two numbers. strings are written between quotes, while numbers don’t have the quotes

“7”, “9” are not numbers, they are strings. Strings in JavaScript are represented by single quotes ( ’ ’ ), double quotes ( " " ), or backticks ( ``)

Your arguments are “Strings” the exercise needs adds two numbers
Try converting your arguments with parseInt before sum it.

That is overkill. The values can just be written without the quotes.

The error message is: You should call functionWithArgs with two numbers after you define it.
This means it should be two numbers instead of two strings.
So try replace it with 1 and 2 instead of “one” and “two”.
