Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 120

JavaScript
1

In the solution to this step of building the role playing game I have:

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += "You attack it with your " + inventory[currentWeapon] + ".";
}

and it doesn’t pass. I’ve also tried:

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += "You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
}

I don’t know if the method i’m using to get the player’s current weapon is the problem. The hint given when I fail this is not very helpful. Please help me. I’m stuck.

hint: You should add the string You attack it with your to the text.innerText value. Remember that spacing matters.

you also need a space at the beginning to have a space after the period at the end of the other text you added
