Hi Javed !
You have to find length of "Lovelace" .You just have to put a .length right after it(no space). The result will be 8.

Thank you very much for the answer. I actually do not understand the differences in lastNamelength, lastName and lastName.length and also lastNamelength = lastName.length.

the wording of this can be tricky; but in a few days/weeks it will click :slight_smile:

var howManyLettersAreInVariableA = 0;  // this is a number. 
var A = "NAME";

howManyLettersAreInVariableA = A.length ;  //this is still a number, taking NAME and counting the number of letters

Thank you for your answer.
