Higher Order Functions, filter, map and reduce

JavaScript
1

Grrr…I’m now going round and round in circles with this. I started with my code. I knew I wanted to filter the list for numbers greater than 0 and only integers not floating point. So that was the .filter method.
then I need to .map method a new array squaring the number. My original code didn’t work (still a newbie and I get confused about how to string everything together still). I read all the previous help posts and made changes, still wasn’t working. In the end I looked at the gethelp post and this below is the solution from the get help post. It is still not working.

I keep getting back
// running tests The function should return an

array

.

squareList([4, 5.6, -9.8, 3.14, 42, 6, 8.34, -2])

should return

[16, 1764, 36]

.

squareList([-3.7, -5, 3, 10, 12.5, 7, -4.5, -17, 0.3])

should return

[9, 100, 49]

. // tests completed // console output undefined
I have been working at this for ages now and am ready to throw the screen out the window…lol

const squareList = (arr) => {
// Only change code below this line
arr
.filter(num => num > 0 && num % parseInt(num)===0)
.map(num=>Math.pow(num, 2));
// Only change code above this line
};

const squaredIntegers = squareList([-3, 4.8, 5, 3, -3.2]);
console.log(squaredIntegers);

Well, the squareList function doesn’t have a return statement, so by default it returns undefined.

Also, I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

If your arrow function is a single expression (which it should be), you can (and should) leave off the curly braces.

That was it the curly braces!!!
