I am struggling to find the issue with this code. Anyone have any ideas

Your code so far

They just wanted a const variable.

3

Thank you! I must have missed that somewhere.

4

They don’t explicitly say it but you can assume they always want const unless they explicitly say otherwise.

I have had the same problem, i think the word “variable” is equal to “let” and the word “constant” is equal to “const”. They should fix that.

In all cases in the fCC curriculum, use const unless explicitly requested not to.

also they have asked to change the value of those variables. for the first iteration of j when j=0 (5) arr = [8, 2, 4, 1, 3] 8,2 you need to compare the values of arr[j] and arr[j+1] and if the value of 8 is greater than 2 then the value should change from 8 to 2 and that is the reason why we are creating a temp variable so the value 8 does not get lost.
