This lesson requires you to use the innerText property with an addition assignment operator to assign this string.

" You attack it with your <weapon>."

However, the should be replaced wth the player’s current weapon. If you check your console, you’ll see what to replace it with.

3

is this correct

text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + monsters[fighting].name + .;
4

You are almost there mate. Make these two changes.

1.<weapon> should be replaced by this weapons[currentWeaponIndex].name this is the current weapon. This monsters[fighting].name will not work because it’s the monster’s name

  1. Finally, nest the full-stop in quotation marks so that it’s part of the string.
5

is this correct

text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeaponIndex]  + ".";
6

Something is missing here.

7

8

I suggest you check the console, it’ll help you identify what is missing.

9

Your code passed all tests on my end. Can you reset the lesson then run the same code again and see if your answer will be accepted?
Alternatively, if that fails, post your entire code here, maybe the problem lies in the other sections of your code.
