Build a Shopping Cart - Step 42

Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t know how to do what the test keeps telling me to do:
You should assign the value of your cart object’s .getCounts() method to the textContent property of the totalNumberOfItems variable.
Please help.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

[...addToCartBtns].forEach(
  (btn) => {
    btn.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
      cart.addItem(Number(event.target.id), products);
      cart.getCounts() = totalNumberOfItems.textContent
    })
  }
);

// User Editable Region

Here you are assigning totalNumberOfItems.textContent to the cart.getCounts(). This is a syntax error because you cannot assign a value to a function call.

3

What is the value of the cart object’s .getCounts() method then?

4

Does the instructions ask for you to

  1. assign totalNumberOfItems.textContent to cart.getCounts()

or

  1. assign cart.getCounts() to totalNumberOfItems.textContent

Oh! I needed to flip around the two things I was comparing using the = sign. Thank you!
