Tell us what’s happening: The instructions say I should getMonsterAttackValue and it should take level as a parameter. It doesn’t like the brackets around “fighting” and it doesn’t like the dot notations for level. Says my code does not pass

you can’t do that in a function argument, that’s why it doesn’t like it, it’s a syntax error

3

If I just add “level” as the parameter, it doesn’t like that either. What am I missing here?

function getMonsterAttackValue (level) {

}
4

remove the space before the (, let’s try that

5

no luck… still says the same error.

function getMonsterAttackValue (level){

}
6

you have not deleted the space before (

This worked… It didn’t like the space between “getMonsterAttackValue” and “(”

function getMonsterAttackValue(level){

}
8

there is usually a space between ) and {, you can keep that one

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

Okay, Thank you for the feedback. This is my first actual post here asking for help. Thank you!

what does getMonsterAttackValue even mean

13

from the name of the function, I would say it’s a function that retrieves the value of the attack of the monster
