Tell us what’s happening:

I do not understand the instructions.

Your code so far

function goFight() {
update(locations[3]);
monsterHealth = monsters[fighting].health;
monsterStats.style.display = “block”;
monsterName.innerText.name = monsters[fighting];
}

In the monsters array object you have a property called “name” Access that and assign it to monsterName and remember to use innerText to update the name. Do the same thing to monsterHealthText, Hope this will give you a hint

This is what I have come up with so far.

function goFight() {
update(locations[3]);
monsterHealth = monsters[fighting].health;
monsterStats.style.display = “block”;
monsters.name.innerText = monsterName
monsters.health.innerText = monsterHealthText;
}

You are almost there, you wanted to update the monsterName with the “name” property, so that which one should come first, the one you want to update comes first and the values should come second. You need to exchange the variable with the values

Remember, monsterName is a DOM element, since its defined on top of your code, so it has an access to innerText
