Chunky monkey code not running in freeCodeCamp

JavaScript
#1

Hi, I have typed a code for the chunky monkey algorithm.
I used my code with Virtual Studio Code and it worked, but it did not with freeCode camp and would like for someone to give me a hint as to why might it be incorrect when trying it out in freeCode Camp.
This is the code (I used array “a” as an example):

let a=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
function splitting(array,size) {
    b=[];
    let n=array.length/size;
    for (i=0; i<n; i++){
        b.push(array.splice(0,size));
    }
    return b;
}

Thank you in advance for any help I can get.

I don’t think you can use html tags in the javascript curriculum.

I did not use the tags for the freeCode Camp site, sorry that I made it seem that way, I will make the edit. I used everthing in between those two tags but had no luck, it says it is incorrect. :cold_sweat:

Hello @YeisonQuiceno!

One thing I would recommend when using the Free Code Camp is to use console.log() to test your code for errors; this has helped me see my mistakes many times while progressing through the program. It can be especially helpful if you put the function call within a console.log() to see exactly what the output is.

Currently, when I try your code in the lesson console, the output is an error of ChunkArrayInGroups() is not a function. This means that the function call in the problem is not finding the function you’ve written.

Hope this helps!

Also, you’ll want to make sure you declare all of your variables.

No problem. In that case, you need to declare your variables. Everything else looks fine though.
