Tell us what’s happening:

Above your currentContent = newContent; line, add an if statement to check if currentContent is equal to newContent. If so, return.

if(currentContent === newContent){
console.log(currentContent); return;
}
yet i’m this error
You should add an if statement to check if currentContent is equal to newContent. If so, return.

      Many languages have words that carry meanings so specific or culturally rooted that they can't be neatly translated into English. 
        
      One example is the Japanese word "tsundoku", which refers to the habit of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread, something many book lovers can relate to. Another is the Portuguese word "saudade", describing a deep, bittersweet longing for something or someone that is absent. Meanwhile, the French word "Dépaysement" captures the disorienting yet exciting feeling of being in a new place, far from home.
        
      These unique words remind us that language is more than vocabulary: it's a window into the values, habits, and emotions of the cultures that create it.

It looks like you have overwritten some of the seed code. Please reset this step and try again.

You are to add a new line with a condition to check if currentContent equals newContent. If it does, add a return statement.
