Tell us what’s happening:

Hi. I’m really struggling to know why I can’t pass any of the log to console tests for my first four functions. I’m passing all other tests and just can’t see what’s wrong with those console.log() statements. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Your code so far

const lunches = [];

function addLunchToEnd(lunches, lunchItem) {
  lunches.push(lunchItem);
  console.log(`${lunchItem} added to the end of the lunch menu.`);
  console.log(lunches);
  return lunches;
}

function addLunchToStart(lunches, lunchItem) {
  lunches.unshift(lunchItem);
  console.log(`${lunchItem} added to the start of the lunch menu.`);
  console.log(lunches);
  return lunches;
}

function removeLastLunch(lunches) {
  if (lunches.length === 0) {
    console.log("No lunches to remove.");
  } else {
  const poppedLunch = lunches.pop();
  console.log(`${poppedLunch} removed from the end of the lunch menu.`);
  }
  console.log(lunches);
  return lunches;
}

function removeFirstLunch(lunches) {
  if (lunches.length === 0) {
    console.log("No lunches to remove.");
  } else {
  const shiftedLunch = lunches.shift();
  console.log(`${shiftedLunch} removed from the start of the lunch menu.`);
  }
  console.log(lunches);
  return lunches;
}

function getRandomLunch(lunches) {
  const randomLunch = lunches[Math.floor(Math.random() * lunches.length)];
  if (lunches.length > 0) {
    console.log(`Randomly selected lunch: ${randomLunch}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`No lunches available.`);
    return randomLunch
  }
} 

function showLunchMenu(lunches) {
  if (lunches.length > 0) {
    console.log("Menu items: " + lunches.join(", "));
  } else {
    console.log("The menu is empty.");
  }
}

  1. addLunchToEnd(lunches, "Tacos") should log the string "Tacos added to the end of the lunch menu." to the console.

your extra console.log of lunches is making you fail the test.

Edit*** In fact remove all your console.logs of lunches and you should pass the lab

Hi,
you should return your console.log()s. For example, in the first function, the error 4 says:

addLunchToEnd(lunches, "Tacos") should log the string "Tacos added to the end of the lunch menu." to the console. but in your function, you’re returning lunches. You have the consol.log statement above it with the correct text but you’re not logging that to the console.
Just like that, you may want to check your other functions, and some of them might even be returning the wrong text.
Good luck!

Thank you. I think I’d been looking at it so long, I just couldn’t see it.
