Tell us what’s happening:
The coding instructions are as follows;
In the goFight function, call your update function with the fourth object in locations as an argument.
And here is the bit of code in question:
function goFight() {
update(locations[4]);
}
I coded the function to the best of my knowledge but it still doesn’t seem to work! Does anyone have the answer?
