function attack() {

  text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
  health -= getMonsterAttackValue(monsters[fighting].level);

  monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
  healthText.innerText = health;
  monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth; 
  if (isMonsterHit){isMonsterHealth();}
  if (health <= 0) {
    lose();

Hey @opeyemifrancis88,

Please do not make a second post for the exact same topic so that we can keep the forum clean. I deleted your previous post for you.

In the challenge rules, they want you to put that if statement below the line where health is subtracted. The condition of the if statement is meant to be what is returned from the function isMonsterHit so you will need to call that function in your if statement. And then think about what the purpose of that if statement is, and make a judgment call on what should go inside of the curly braces. It should be something that would be based on if the monster was hit such as the monster’s health.
