Tell us what’s happening:
My issue : “Your highest variable should have the value of the first entry in the sorted Object.keys(counts) array.”
Finally, access the first element in the array using bracket notation to complete your highest variable.
Where do I access the first element of the array ? On the Object.keys(counts) part?
Your code so far
