Tell us what’s happening:
monsterName.innerText = monsters[fighting].name;
monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;
So I am trying to access to the properties name and health.
I do not understand why the following line of code: monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;
is correct…
but this one (which was my first guess) : monsterName.innerText = monsters[fighting].health; is incorrect.
Shouldn’t that line work as well?
Your code so far
