you were supposed to assign monsters[fighting].name TO => monsterName.innerText

3

I don’t understand what you mean

4

In your code, which variable will change after your code executes?

5

is it monsterHealthText

6

This is your code:

Which of these will be updated when this line of code runs?
Is it the variable on the right of the equals or the one on the left?

7

is it the right hand side

8

the value on the left of the equal sign is the one that gets updated.
For eg. if I wrote
x = 4
then x is updated to be equal to 4.

So which variable are you updating when you wrote:

and which one did they want you to update?

9

i was updating monsters[fighting].name
they want me to update monsterHealthText

10

they said:

Start by assigning monsters[fighting].name to the innerText property of monsterName

11

i put

  monsters[fighting].name = monsterName.innerText;
12

yes, in your code, which thing is being updated?

and which one did the step want you to update?

13

hi there!

you have assigned the monsterName.innerText to monsters[fighting].name, that is not the correct way to assign anything using innerText propety.
you need to assign the monsters[fighting].name to the innerText of monsterName.

14

i think i’m lost now

monsterName.innerText = monsters[fighting].name;
15

Do you have a specific question about anything?

Here is the next step:

Then, assign monsterHealth to the innerText property of monsterHealthText.

What is the hint saying now?
