I am gettint this error as I try to run the code " You should use let to declare a currentWeapon variable."

Your code so far

Hi @Anisha1

You modified the original code, which is causing syntax errors.

You also created an if statement, which was not asked for in the instructions.

Please reset the step to restore the original code. Then only modify the code you are asked. The tests make specific tests in the code. Altering any part of the code you are not asked will fail the tests.

In the sellWeapon function declare the variable mentioned in the instructions.

For next time use the following method to post code to the forum:

  1. On a separate line type three back ticks.
  2. On a separate line paste your code.
  3. On the last line type three back ticks. Here is a single back tick `

Happy coding

this is the original code
