Nicely done but the instructions said:

leave the function body empty for now.

Hi @mbas ,

I was confused by this task as well. I did not understand how to set the initial value to 0 AND leaving the function body empty. But, all you need to do is using {} followed by , 0.

Mod edit: code removed.
Hope that helps

Hi there!
Welcome to the FCC forum. Create your own topic to the challenge step using Ask for Help button. The button appears below the challenge editor, when you try to submit wrong code more than three times.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
