here when the gold is subtracted you should increase currentWeaponIndex to give the player the new just purchased weapon

I’ve edited your post for readability. Next time please don’t use backticks in this form to describe your issue. Thanks.

5

yes, but you are increasing the index twice, it should be only once

6

function buyWeapon() {
if (gold >= 30) {
gold -= 30;
currentWeaponIndex += 1;
}
}

Your solution works from my end. Please try one of the following steps to move forward.

Click on the “Restart Step” button and force a refresh of your page with CTRL + F5 then try to paste the code in again.

or - Try the step in incognito or private mode.

or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.

or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.

I hope one of these will work for you.

I don’t know.

Your code is correct, I would test it on a different browser or machine to test. Can you install a different browser? Firefox?

Try it on your phone?

``it does work on a google chromebook as i went back to the start and started again

currentWeaponIndex +=;

this is what i used and it passed so not the full working solution but you can probably work out what is missing thanks it passes now.
