Tell us what’s happening:

Clearly my code is incorrect but i can’t think of other solutions.

Step 129

In your defeatMonster function, set gold equal to gold plus the monster’s level times 6.7. You can get the monster’s level with the level property.

Here is an example of setting num to num plus 5 * 8: num += 5 * 8. Use Math.floor() to round the result down.

### Your code so far

function defeatMonster() {
  gold += Math.floor(monsters.level * 6.7);
}

monsters is an array, it doesn’t have a level property, you need to get the level of the single monster. Look for example at the function right above this one,

function dodge() {
  text.innerText = "You dodge the attack from the " + monsters[fighting].name;
}

how does it get the name of the monster?

oh okay. thank you. i will do that next time.

I apologize, I’m still getting the hang of it.

the example below got access to the name of the monster because of this part of code:

monsters[fighting].name;

it accessed the “monsters” array then the [fighting] which was a declared variable and then the “name”.

I exchanged. the “name” for “level”. and it worked.

Thank you!
