Learn Advanced Array Methods by Building a Statistics Calculator - Step 24

Tell us what’s happening:

I think i’ve made what is asked : find the median, but using the exemple, and assign that to evenListMedian.

The error i get is that i should have a const evenListMedian… which is true indeed, so I’m stuck.

Your code so far

Hi @A.I !

getMean accepts an array

but that is not what you have provided here

take a closer look at the example here

getMean([firstMiddleNumber, secondMiddleNumber]);

once you fix this part to be an array of elements instead of two separate values then it will pass

I’ve figured it out : carefully reading back my code, I saw the missing brackets.
