Tell us what’s happening:
I’m recieving the correct output as far as I can tell, and there are no errors in my chrome console. The test still will not pass.
Your code so far


function getDateFormats() {
let date = new Date();
let res = []
res.push(date.toISOString().substring(0,10))
let op = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };
res.push(date.toLocaleDateString("en-us", op))
return res;
}
console.log(getDateFormats())

Challenge: Date format

Your date format is:

[ '2021-03-01', 'Monday, March 1, 2021' ]

When I change it to:

[ '2021-3-1', 'Monday, March 1, 2021' ]

It passes. So, this is a poorly worded challenge because it doesn’t make it clear. True, there are a lot of poorly worded challenges on interviews. And sometimes they are poorly worded on purpose because they want you to think what the problem could be, to think about edge cases and how they might be handled differently.

I’ll ask what people think in the contributors channel.
