Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 123

Tell us what’s happening:

I need Help on step 123 JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures (Beta).
I’m still new on javascript so i don’t know much of the “math utility” thing.

freecodecamp says:

JavaScript offers the built-in Math utility which offers a number of mathematical tools. One of those is Math.random(), which generates a random number between 0 and 1. Another is Math.floor(), which rounds a given number down to the nearest integer.

Using these, you can generate a random number within a range. For example, this generates a random number between 1 and 5: Math.floor(Math.random() * 5) + 1;.

Following this pattern, use the addition operator (+) to add a random number between 1 and the value of xp to your monsterHealth variable change.

and error says:

Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.

You should add to the weapons[currentWeapon].power value.

### Your code so far

function attack() {
text.innerText = “The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.”;
text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + “.”;
health -= monsters[fighting].level;
monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power;
weapons[currentWeapon].power += Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
}

Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 123

the hint you pasted doesn’t belong to step 123
step 123 wants you to work with the monsterHealth variable

Following this pattern, use the addition operator (+ ) to add a random number between 1 and the value of xp to your monsterHealth variable change.

Glad it worked, please don’t put the full solution code in the forum though! Don’t want to spoil it for people who are just looking for some clues and not a full solution.

Hello guys. I am also hitting a roadblock here. Do we keep the -= before adding the result of weapons[currentWeapon].power and (Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1) or what? I’ve tried various combinations, still not getting it right.

here that’s how you do it

Thanks. I just got it to work like that. I thought the whole new expression should be between ().

You need to add the the weapons[currentWeapon].power before the Math.floor

hey @jeevanantham.s932

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

I’m stuck, i tried lot of solutions but nothing. The situation is this:

monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power;
weapons[currentWeapon].power += Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;

hey @Deevioh , welcome to the forum! Could you open your own topic to ask for help?
