Learn Basic JavaScript by Building a Role Playing Game - Step 172

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello,

so in step 172 it wants me to use the .includes method, and im really new to the whole coding scene. Thats why I am watching a lot of Youtube videos and copying them. But in all these videos they are using this indexOf method and i am confused why i am the only one having the includes method. And I dont know whats wrong with my code, and there are no videos of people with the includes method.

Your code so far

function pick(guess) {
const numbers = ;
while (numbers.length < 10) {
numbers.push(Math.floor(Math.random() * 11));
}
text.innerText = "You picked " + guess + “. Here are the random numbers:\n”;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
text.innerText += numbers[i] + “\n”;

}
if(numbersArray.includes(guess));
{

}

}

Check the condition in the if statement, you’re supposed to check whether guess is included in numbers array not whether numbersArray array includes guess. You just copied the code as it is in the example.

Hello!

There is also a difference between indexOf() and includes()

The first just returns the position in an array or -1 if nothing is found.

The latter tells you if the value your are looking for is included with no regards of the index.

Hi, I have similar problem and I cant pass this step please can you look at the code below:

function pick(guess) {
const numbers = ;
while (numbers.length < 10) {
numbers.push(Math.floor(Math.random() * 11));
}
text.innerText = "You picked " + guess + “. Here are the random numbers:\n”;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
text.innerText += numbers[i] + “\n”;
} if (guess.includes(numbersArray)){}

}
