Tell us what’s happening:

How do we call a function isMonsterHit with an if statement if we have not stated the function in the code previously?

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeaponIndex].name + ".";
  health -= getMonsterAttackValue(monsters[fighting].level);
  if () {isMonsterHit};

  monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeaponIndex].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
  healthText.innerText = health;
  monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;
  if (health <= 0) {
    lose();
  } else if (monsterHealth <= 0) {
    if (fighting === 2) {
      winGame();
    } else {
      defeatMonster();
    }

you can call a function even if it doesn’t exist yet, you just need to create it soon after or nothing will work. The following steps I bet will be about creating that function

you are asked to call the isMonsterHit function in the condition (so in the round parenthesis of the if statement)

3

Find line of code that updates the monsterHealth variable. Place it within an if block. The block is the curly braces {} with a condition in the round brackets () that calls the isMonsterHit function. When calling a function , you have to use round brackets () directly after the name of the function.

4

you should replace the code

if () {isMonsterHit};

equals if (isMonsterHit()) {monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeaponIndex].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;}
